## Summary

South Derbyshire District Council appointed an insurer to provide its Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme. The service gives council tenants access to contents insurance; the procurement is for insurance services under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme Framework. The buyer is South Derbyshire District Council, based in Swadlincote. Delivery is recorded as covering the United Kingdom, with no more specific service location identified.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Ecclesiastical Insurance Office plc. The council used a below-threshold award under an existing framework, through a selective route; the call-off was not competitive. The award was made and the contract signed on 8 October 2026. The contract is valued at £87,882.72. Its initial period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028, with three individual one-year renewal periods and a maximum extent to 31 December 2031. The requirement was handled as one lot. The appointment is for the council’s 2026–2030 tenants’ contents insurance scheme; the published contract period and renewal terms give the formal dates and duration recorded for the contract.

For insurers, this appointment shows that South Derbyshire District Council buys tenants’ contents insurance through the Northern Housing Consortium’s framework, rather than running a competitive call-off for this award. A credible future supplier would need to meet the framework’s requirements and be able to administer a contents insurance scheme for council tenants. The scale is a single-council service with a contract value below the public procurement threshold, and the selected provider is a large insurance company. Insurers with relevant scheme-management experience and the operational capacity to support a tenant population would be best placed to compete when this specific requirement returns to market.
