## Summary

Wales & West Housing Association Limited is conducting a procurement process to appoint one or more providers for "Insurance and Related Services," with a focus on financial and insurance services, including motor vehicle and architectural services. The Association, located in Cardiff, is seeking services for a range of insurance needs, including property, legal liabilities, and non-life insurable risks. The process involves a competitive flexible procedure, divided into multiple lots to allow for focused, specialised service provision. The procurement is in the tender stage with a deadline for expressions of interest set for 17 June 2026. The estimated contract value is £6,805,000, with the procurement process ending on 16 October 2026. This is under a planned contract period starting on 1 January 2027 and ending on 31 December 2029, with possible extensions based on performance. Given the importance of insurer ratings, only insurers of a certain financial robustness (minimum \‘A-\’ rating) will be considered suitable candidates.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial and insurance services, particularly those with capabilities in comprehensive insurance coverage across various types of liability and risks. Business growth can be achieved by accessing new markets or expanding service offerings to a key organisation such as Wales & West Housing Association Limited. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate as the procurement is designed to consider their capabilities. Given the emphasis on both competitive cost and high service quality (60% quality over 40% cost criteria), businesses with strong client management, claims management, and risk management expertise stand to benefit the most. The potential for long-term agreements and extensions further enriches this opportunity for sustained business relationships and growth.
