## Summary

UK Export Finance intends to appoint insurers to a panel for reinsurance of its portfolio of credit and political risks. The appointed insurers will work with the Authority’s broker. This is an insurance services requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom.

The process is at planning stage: UK Export Finance has set out an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It expects to use a framework agreement. The estimated value is £40 million excluding VAT (£48 million including VAT). The planned contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, with a possible extension to 31 March 2035. A future notice is expected on 15 January 2027. The buyer plans written communications and a market engagement event on the morning of 15 October 2026, via Teams and in person in London. The event is limited to organisations capable of providing the service.

This requirement is aimed at FCA-registered insurers specialising in facultative reinsurance, with a focus on credit and political risks. Suppliers with the capacity to reinsure a portfolio and to work alongside the buyer’s appointed broker are the best fit. The planned panel and multi-year contract period will suit insurers able to support an ongoing relationship rather than a one-off placement. The buyer says attendance at its market engagement event is restricted to organisations capable of supplying this service, so relevant specialist experience and regulatory status will be important in preparing for the procurement.
