## Summary

The procurement process for the "Private Medical Insurance 2025/26" contract, handled by Sovereign Network Group, involves the direct award method to Western Provident Association Limited. The contract facilitates health insurance services for Sovereign Network Group's employees, ensuring continuity of employee benefits. It was set in motion due to an urgent need, legally grounded by UKPGA 2023/54, to maintain coverage and avoid welfare risks. This service contract spans from 7th November 2025 to 30th September 2026, covering multiple regions across the UK, and has been marked complete. The procurement process reached its award stage, with the contract signed on the 7th of November 2025, valued at GBP 750,000.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in health insurance services, especially for those capable of providing comprehensive coverage across a significant geographical area. While the procurement was executed as a direct award to ensure uninterrupted service, businesses adept in forming strategic partnerships could benefit when future tenders are announced, potentially aligned with Sovereign Network Group's strategic benefits re-evaluation. Large-scale service providers, such as those with experience in handling extensive employee insurance policies, would be well-suited to compete in subsequent open competition scenarios.

## Notice

Private medical insurance provider for employees of SNG

### Procurement Information

This contract has been awarded due to the need to maintain continuity of employee benefits, specifically Private Medical Insurance (PMI), which forms part of our internal policy obligations to staff. The existing PMI policy was due to expire imminently, and any lapse in coverage would have resulted in a risk to employee welfare. SNG engaged their appointed broker who performed a market exercise and came back with a recommendation to retain our incumbent provider. Given these circumstances, a direct award was necessary to ensure uninterrupted provision of PMI. The decision was made in good faith, with the intention to re-tender the service once a longer-term benefits strategy is finalised.
