## Summary

Plymouth City Council procured cyber insurance as a financial protection service. The policy covers the council’s losses following a cyber attack, including recovery costs and business interruption. This is a specialist insurance requirement rather than a cyber-security implementation or technology supply contract. The service falls within financial and insurance services. The contracting authority is Plymouth City Council, so relevant suppliers are insurers, brokers and specialist cyber-risk providers able to structure and administer cover for a public-sector organisation. The requirement concerns protection for the council’s operations and finances, with the associated activity located in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to Travelers Insurance Company Limited. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £50,400 including tax. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open tender, so the published process does not set out competing bids, scored criteria or a competitive evaluation. The award covers the cyber-insurance policy and its associated financial protection for Plymouth City Council, including recovery costs and business interruption following a cyber attack.

This award demonstrates a defined public-sector demand for cyber insurance covering both incident recovery expenditure and business interruption. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need strong cyber-risk underwriting capability, experience designing policies for councils or comparable public bodies, and the financial capacity to respond to potentially significant claims. Credibility would also depend on clear coverage for attack response, recovery costs and operational disruption, supported by reliable claims handling and access to relevant incident-response expertise. Insurance companies, specialist cyber insurers and brokers with public-sector experience are the most relevant competitor groups. The direct-award route also indicates that understanding the council’s risk profile and presenting a compliant, defensible cover proposition would be important.
