## Summary

Eastlight Community Homes, located in Braintree, UK, has completed its procurement process for the provision of insurance and related services under a tender initiated by Gibbs Laidler Consulting LLP on behalf of Eastlight. The tender process, which followed an open competitive flexible procedure, pertains to services like property, liability, and other general insurable risks, culminating in several contracts awarded in April 2026.
