## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office bought comprehensive medical insurance for around 23 locally recruited staff at the British Embassy in Doha. The service covers inpatient and outpatient treatment, access to a healthcare provider network, emergency assistance and additional healthcare benefits. It also requires cashless access to treatment, prompt reimbursement of claims, membership support, dedicated account management and round-the-clock customer service. The insurer must accommodate changes in the number of employees during the contract. This is a health insurance service for embassy staff, delivered in Doha, Qatar.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Doha Insurance Group QPSC. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with options to extend for two further one-year periods, to 30 September 2029. The contract is valued at £81,347.09. The FCDO used below-threshold limited competition. The procurement had one lot; award information identifies the successful supplier but gives no separate award value or award date. Extensions depend on supplier performance against KPI reviews. Performance monitoring includes quarterly premium invoice and policy-adjustment reviews, quarterly management information on claims, membership and service, and claims and reimbursement processing measured on a seven-day cycle.

For insurers considering similar embassy health cover, this contract demonstrates demand for a managed medical insurance service for a small overseas staff group, combining inpatient and outpatient benefits with a local provider network and emergency assistance. A credible supplier would need to support cashless treatment, accurate and prompt claims reimbursements, reliable membership administration as staff numbers change, and responsive account management with 24/7 customer service. Strong performance controls matter: the buyer monitors billing and policy adjustments, expects regular reporting on claims utilisation, membership and service trends, and tracks claims processing against service levels. The selected supplier is a large Qatar-based insurance company, indicating the value of local market knowledge and the ability to coordinate healthcare access in Doha alongside dependable administration and reporting for a UK government client.
