## Summary

Cardiff Community Housing Association Limited intends to procure insurance and related services covering its property, legal liability and other general, non-life risks. The work is insurance services for the association’s requirements. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. Gibbs Laidler Consulting LLP is managing the procurement on the association’s behalf. The association has prepared an introductory presentation about its organisation and general risk profile for prospective suppliers to review as part of preliminary market engagement. Suppliers can request a copy by email and share questions about the information provided. This engagement is intended to inform suppliers about the buyer and its risks before the procurement proceeds to a tender.

This is at the planning stage: the buyer has set out its intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. The published procurement approach, tender deadlines and award criteria are not yet established. The buyer expects to publish a further notice by 30 October 2026. The engagement milestone is scheduled for 29 October 2026; prospective suppliers were invited to share questions by 21 October 2026. The estimated value is £1,897,999.99. The contract is planned to run from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030, with a possible extension to 30 June 2032. The procurement is arranged as one lot. The buyer intends to accept insurers with a minimum financial strength rating of BBB from Standard & Poor’s, B++ from AM Best, or an equivalent rating from an independent, reputable agency, subject to its approval.

This planned requirement is relevant to insurers and insurance intermediaries able to arrange cover for property, legal liability and other general non-life risks, and to support the financial strength needed to deliver the insurance programme. Insurers should be prepared to demonstrate a minimum rating of BBB from Standard & Poor’s, B++ from AM Best, or an equivalent rating from an independent and reputable credit rating agency, with approval by the bidder’s market security committee. For a proposed insurer rated below A-, the buyer will decide whether to accept it at its discretion. The bidder would need to disclose its market security committee’s latest report, including the committee’s written recommendation, before the future tender deadline. Suppliers can use the preliminary engagement to understand the association’s organisation and risk profile and raise questions ahead of the tender.
