This public procurement opportunity took place in London, UK, with the aim of securing warranties and insurance for the Ebury Phase 2 development, which includes 98 private sale homes and 236 social/affordable homes. The overall project is valued over £200 million. The procurement method used was the open procedure, and the contract has now been awarded, with the National House-Building Council selected as the supplier. The contract was finalised on June 15, 2026, and is set to commence on July 1, 2026, running until June 2039. The procurement stage is marked as complete, covering various insurance requirements crucial for the development's completion and future structure integrity. This procurement poses significant business growth potential for companies within the insurance services sector, especially those experienced in large-scale and complex construction projects. The requirement for experienced providers to cover both private and social housing developments valued significantly enhances market entry barriers and underscores the need for financially stable companies. Businesses with a turnover over £7 million and those previously engaged in similar large projects within the UK will find themselves well-positioned to bid for future phases or similar opportunities. Moreover, the open procurement method ensures extensive participation, enabling diverse business types, including SMEs, to compete and showcase their capacity to deliver on such significant contracts. ## Notice New build warranty and insurance required for the Ebury Phase 2 development, consisting of five towers. The development will consist of 98 private sale homes and 236 social/affordable homes for Council tenants. The works will be undertaken by McLaren Construction, and is anticipated to commence late May 2026. Council requires a suitable warranty and insurance provider for the new build including cover for the works and structural warranty post-completion. The requirement is for a 12-year policy, including the two-year defect liability period after the practical completion. It must cover both the private sale and social rent units, and appropriate for a central London scheme valued over PS200 million. The policy must protect purchaser deposits if the contractor becomes insolvent before completion, a warranty for the private sale building block (which is attached to an existing already insured Private Accommodation Building), and appropriate for both UK and overseas purchasers. The policy must cover as a minimum the following works: water ingress through the roof or walls (due to a defect in certain parts of the home), damage resulting from a defect in the foundations, roofs, load-bearing walls and floors, damage resulting from a defect in the underground draining that serves the home and damage resulting from a defect in staircases inside of the home. The requirements and process are further detailed in the Council's Invitation to Tender and Scope of Services uploaded to the Jaggaer Portal. ### Planning Information If suppliers are interested in this opportunity, the Council would be grateful for an email directly to the procurement lead, at edesveaux@westminster.gov.uk.
