## Summary

One Manchester intends to procure insurance and related services covering its property, liability and other general, non-life risks. The anticipated scope includes property damage and business interruption; employers’, public, products and property owners’ liability; business combined and office cover; money, all risks, computer and contract works; group personal accident; professional indemnity; fidelity guarantee or crime; and employment practices liability. One Manchester will decide the final requirements. The procurement is for insurance services, classified under CPV 66510000. The buyer is One Manchester, a public undertaking. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific service location is identified.

This process is at the planning stage: One Manchester has stated its intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It expects to use a single lot for a contract running from 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2030, with an extension possible to 31 May 2032. The stated estimated value is £8 million. One Manchester is undertaking optional early market engagement with prospective bidders and other insurance-market participants. Online Microsoft Teams discussions are intended to explain the organisation, anticipated insurance requirements, proposed procurement approach and indicative timetable, and to gather questions and high-level feedback to help shape the final tender documents. The buyer expects a future procurement notice on 22 October 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a bid deadline. Engagement attendance will not affect evaluation or confer an advantage or disadvantage.

The planned work is relevant to insurers and insurance-service providers able to arrange and support a broad general insurance programme for a housing organisation. The range of risks points to a need for capability across property and business interruption, multiple liability classes, business and office cover, specialist all-risks and computer insurance, contract works, personal accident, professional indemnity, crime or fidelity, and employment practices liability. Providers with experience bringing together varied non-life covers and advising on the design of a tailored programme are well placed to follow the development of the requirement. The final mix of cover remains for One Manchester to decide, so insurers, brokers and related service providers can use the planned engagement to understand the buyer’s anticipated needs and offer high-level feedback before the formal tender is developed. No particular accreditation or qualification is identified.

## Notice

This list is to be decided at the sole discretion of One Manchester
