## Summary

NSAH (Alliance Homes) Limited procured an insurance consultancy retainer to manage new insurance arrangements, answer risk and insurance queries, and support preparation and delivery of a compliant tender for Alliance Homes’ insurance cover. The consultancy supports the housing group’s insurance needs and the future procurement of its insurance policies. The work is for Alliance Homes, based in Portishead, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The service is insurance consultancy, rather than the provision of insurance policies themselves.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gibbs Laidler Consulting LLP through a direct, below-threshold process without competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its stated gross value is £58,500. The retainer covers management of new insurance arrangements and advice on risk and insurance queries. It also includes support to facilitate a full procurement compliant with the Procurement Act 2023 for Alliance Homes’ insurance, with preparation beginning before the 2028 renewal. That insurance tender is due in 2029 if Alliance Homes chooses not to use any extension options. The procurement was handled as a single lot.

This award shows demand for external insurance consultancy from a housing provider: the successful supplier is expected to handle insurance changes and provide responsive risk and insurance advice, as well as support a major insurance tender from preparation through to delivery. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need credible insurance-market knowledge, the ability to advise on organisational risk and cover, and experience planning and facilitating a compliant public-sector insurance procurement. The work combines ongoing consultancy with a concentrated tender-support task, so firms need sufficient capacity to provide advice while also managing procurement preparation and coordination. It is relevant to insurance consultancies serving housing organisations, rather than insurers seeking to underwrite policies.
