The requirement is divided into four service areas: motor insurance for Exeter-based campuses; motor insurance for Falmouth-based campuses; engineering inspection insurance for Exeter-based campuses; and engineering inspection insurance for Falmouth-based campuses. This is a services contract covering insurance policies and inspection-related provision rather than physical construction or vehicle supply. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom, with the operational locations identified as Exeter and Falmouth. Businesses specialising in motor fleet insurance, engineering inspection insurance, or both areas may find the scope relevant, depending on which service area they can provide. The buyer has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has four lots, with a stated total value of £860,000 excluding VAT and £1,032,000 including VAT. Individual gross lot values are £304,800 for Exeter motor insurance, £516,000 for Falmouth motor insurance, £84,000 for Exeter engineering inspection, and £127,200 for Falmouth engineering inspection. Enquiries were due by 24 August 2026 at 15:00, and offers by 8 September 2026 at 11:00. The expected award decision date is 25 September 2026. Contracts are scheduled from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2029, with two 12-month extension options allowing a maximum end date of 1 October 2031. Evaluation is 60% price and 40% technical quality. This opportunity suits established insurance providers with capability in motor fleet cover, engineering inspection insurance, or a combination of both. Suppliers should be able to design and administer policies for university campuses in Exeter and Falmouth and support the relevant inspection-related insurance requirements. The four-lot structure creates separate opportunities for motor insurance and engineering inspection insurance at each location, so businesses can focus on the service areas aligned with their operational expertise. Each lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making the procurement relevant to specialist insurers and other suitably sized providers as well as larger firms. Technical quality carries substantial weight in evaluation, so bidders will need to demonstrate a credible service approach alongside competitive pricing. ## Notice Lotted tender for motor insurance and engineering inspection ### Lot Information Lot 1 Motor Insurance (Exeter) Motor Insurance Policy for Exeter based campuses Renewal: 2 X 12 month extension options Lot 2 Motor Insurance (FX+) Motor Insurance Policy for Falmouth based campuses Renewal: 2 x 12 month extension options Lot 3 Engineering Inspection (Exeter) Engineering Inspection Policy for Exeter based campuses Renewal: 2 x 12 month extensions Lot 4 - Engineering Inspection Insurance (FX+) Engineering Inspection Policy for Falmout based campuses Renewal: 2 x 12 month extensions ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/076681-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 8 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2026 - 1 Oct 2029 | | Recurrence | 2031-07-01 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £860,000 | | Lots value | £860,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | University of Exeter | | Locality | EXETER | | Postcode area | Exeter | | Postcode | EX4 4QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Exeter | | Electoral ward | Duryard and St James | | Westminster constituency | Exeter | | Delivery location | TLK4 Devon | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66510000 - Insurance services - 66514110 - Motor vehicle insurance services - 66519200 - Engineering insurance services ## Release History - 12 Aug 2026 at 12:01 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/076681-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/076681-2026 12th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=108010&TID100113081&B= - https://www.exeter.ac.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
