Key dates include the submission deadline for tenders on 31 July 2026 and the anticipated award by 30 November 2026. This competitive process employs an open methodology, encouraging interested parties to engage through a detailed Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) and Information to Tender (IfT) submissions. This tender offers an opportunity for growth to businesses specializing in insurance services, particularly those with expertise in construction-related risk coverage. With an estimated value of £60,000,000, providers who have a robust record in handling complex insurance portfolios can benefit significantly by participating.
