## Summary

Sheffield City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the Schools Insurance 2026/27 contract, focusing on providing insurance services to maintained schools in Sheffield. The contract, valued at £498,500, was awarded directly to Zurich Insurance Company Ltd, as they are the unique provider offering the required per pupil insurance model. The procurement follows the legal framework stipulated by the Procurement Act 2023, allowing this direct award due to single supplier technical reasons.
