## Summary

Framework Housing Association is procuring insurance and related services for property, legal liability and other general non-life risks across the UK. The requirement is divided into seven lots: general property and liability risks; motor vehicle risks, potentially including motor legal expenses and occasional business use; medical malpractice; cyber; terrorism covered through Pool Re; terrorism or political violence outside Pool Re; and directors’ and officers’ liability. Services may include insurance placement, brokerage, claims adjustment, risk management and the provision of policies suited to the Association’s needs. The general insurance scope includes property damage, business interruption, employers’ and public liability, professional indemnity, crime, employment practices liability and other associated covers. Framework Housing Association is the buyer, with Gibbs Laidler Consulting LLP managing the procurement on its behalf.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. It has three stages: participation, invitation to tender and best and final offer, with further scope details released to bidders progressing to the ITT. Expressions of interest were due by 16 October 2026 at 23:59 BST; the award period ends on 1 March 2027 at 23:59 UTC. The estimated gross value is £1,500,000. Lot values are £1,000,000, £120,000, £203,000, £100,000, £0, £46,000 and £31,000 respectively. Contracts are scheduled from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with possible extensions to 31 March 2032. Evaluation is cost and quality: most lots use 40% cost and 60% quality, while motor uses 60% cost and 40% quality. Electronic submission in English is allowed.

This opportunity suits insurers, insurance brokers, managing agents and claims specialists able to design and deliver several forms of commercial and specialist cover for a housing association. Bidders may compete for individual areas, including property and liability, motor fleet, medical malpractice, cyber, terrorism, political violence and directors’ and officers’ liability. The requirement favours firms with strong underwriting, broking, policy design, claims handling and risk-management capability, together with the capacity to coordinate a broad insurance programme and respond through successive bid stages. Proposed insurers or risk carriers must have financial strength demonstrated by at least a BBB rating from Standard & Poor’s, B++ from A M Best, or an equivalent rating from an independent reputable agency. Ratings below A- require disclosure and acceptance of the relevant market security committee report and recommendation.
