The procurement process intends to appoint a single reinsurance broker to place treaties of reinsurance related to Export Credit Agency activities. Key milestones include a virtual market engagement event scheduled for Monday, 20th April 2026, with participation requests due by 17th April. Following this, a Request for Information (RFI) will be issued. The contract is set to commence on 22nd February 2027 and conclude on 20th February 2032, with anticipated spending in excess of £5 million over five years. This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in treaty reinsurance, particularly those registered as FCA brokers with a focus on credit and political risks. Ability to access Lloyds insurance companies is essential for competing in this tender, thus appealing to well-established insurance brokerages with relevant credentials. The open procedure method will provide equal competition among qualified entities, offering a platform for expansion and establishing long-term partnerships with UK Export Finance. ## Notice Treaty Reinsurance Framework intended to employ the services of a broker for the purpose of placing treaties of reinsurance relating to Export Credit Agency activities. We intend to award this framework to a single reinsurance broker who will then place treaties of reinsurance on behalf of UK Export Finance. Please note, this is a separate requirement to that of UKEF's Credit Political Risk - Broker Contract requirement, which is facultative reinsurance focused. Whilst the total value has not been determined yet and no guarantees of spend will be entered in to, UKEF anticipate total spend in excess of PS5million over 5 years. All details relating to spend, competition documentation and contract start/end dates are subject to change and details of exact eligibility criteria will be defined within competition documentation. ### Planning Information We plan to have a virtual market engagement event via Microsoft Teams Monday 20th April. Timings to be confirmed. Following this event, a Request For Information (RFI) will be issued to all potential suppliers in attendance. For an invitation to the market engagement event and subsequent RFI engagement, please contact commercial@ukexportfinance.gov.uk no later than COP Friday 17th April. N.B please do not reach out to any UKEF individuals for an invitation to this event. Due to the confidential nature of the information required to form treaties of reinsurance, only organisations capable of providing this service will be permitted to attend. We define capability as suppliers who are FCA registered brokers specialising in treaty reinsurance with a credit and political risks focus. The suppliers must also be Lloyds registered as they must be capable of accessing Lloyds insurance companies to fulfil the requirement. The Authority may have further conversations or discussions with the market following the RFI, dependent on responses. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028187-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Jul 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Feb 2027 - 20 Feb 2032 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK EXPORT FINANCE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2HQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66510000 - Insurance services ## Release History - 26 Mar 2026 at 17:15 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028187-2026 - 25 Mar 2026 at 16:29 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027515-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028187-2026 26th March 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027515-2026 25th March 2026 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
