## Summary

First Choice Homes Oldham has initiated a public procurement process for insurance and related services, aiming to cover property, legal liability, and other non-life insurable risks. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with early market engagement being conducted. Prospective bidders interested in this opportunity should note the deadline for expressing interest by 3rd August 2026. Pre-engagement meetings, which are optional but beneficial for understanding the organisation's insurance needs, will be held online via Microsoft Teams, with further steps leading to a formal tender expected to commence from 4th September 2026. The procurement is for services primarily situated in Oldham, UK, with a significant contract value of approximately £5.8 million.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in insurance services, particularly those with expertise in property damage, business interruption, liability coverages, and other related insurance categories. Companies with a robust understanding of the insurance market and innovative solutions tailored to housing associations will find themselves well-suited to compete. Moreover, as the process encapsulates comprehensive coverage for varied risks, it promises ample room for businesses of different sizes to contribute and expand their footprint within the public sector insurance domain.

## Notice

This list is to be decided at the sole discretion of First Choice Homes Oldham

### Planning Information

FCHO is undertaking early market engagement with prospective bidders and other participants within the insurance market in advance of its forthcoming insurance services tender. The purpose of this pre-engagement activity is to provide an overview of our organisation, outline our anticipated insurance requirements, and present our proposed procurement approach and indicative timetable.
The sessions will also provide an opportunity for interested parties to ask questions, offer high‐level feedback, and help inform the development of the final tender documentation prior to the formal launch of the procurement.
Attendance at any meeting or event is entirely optional and will not form part of the evaluation process, nor will it confer any advantage or disadvantage in the subsequent tender. 
This pre‐engagement is intended solely to promote transparency, improve market understanding, and support an open and competitive procurement process.
If you wish to attend a meeting, please confirm your interest by 13:00 on 03/08/2026 by emailing procurement@gibbslaidler.co.uk. Once you submit your interest, you will receive the meeting agenda and a set of questions in advance; a written response will be required. 
Any pre‐engagement meetings will be held online via Microsoft Teams.
