## Summary

National Highways Limited procured a renewal of its existing private medical insurance arrangement. The requirement is for health insurance and medical insurance services for National Highways, rather than the supply of equipment, construction work or general consultancy. It covers activity across the United Kingdom, with delivery locations spanning England’s regions and the wider UK. The buying organisation is a central government public authority responsible for national highways. This opportunity is therefore relevant to insurers, health-benefit providers and organisations able to administer private medical insurance nationally. Firms offering unrelated employee benefits, general healthcare services without an insurance capability, or services limited to a local area are less closely aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. It covered one lot. The contract was awarded to Bupa Insurance Limted and signed on 1 July 2026. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £120,393 excluding VAT and £144,471.60 including VAT. The award concerns the renewal of National Highways’ existing private medical insurance, with the contract recorded as active. The published outcome provides no competitive evaluation basis: the route was a below-threshold direct award without competition. This is a completed procurement rather than an invitation for suppliers to submit bids.

This procurement is a useful market signal for insurers and specialist medical-benefit providers tracking National Highways’ requirements. The buyer selected a large insurance business for a UK-wide private medical insurance renewal, indicating that credible future competitors would need an established insurance capability, sufficient scale to support a nationally distributed membership and the operational capacity to administer medical cover across multiple UK regions. Experience managing existing schemes and renewals would be commercially relevant, particularly where continuity of cover, member administration, claims handling and engagement with a public-sector client are important. Providers whose offer is confined to local healthcare delivery, standalone clinical services or unrelated employee benefits would be poorly matched to this requirement.
