The contract aims to secure a single-supplier arrangement for comprehensive insurance services, with a total estimated value of £1,643,074. The contract period is set to commence on 1 April 2022, extending to 31 March 2025, with an option for an additional 24-month extension. The restricted procurement process will begin the Selection Stage by the end of July 2021, followed by the Invitation to Tender expected by the end of October 2021. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the insurance sector, particularly for insurance brokers and carriers capable of offering a complete suite of coverage. Companies specialised in comprehensive insurance solutions should consider participating since the contract will not be awarded in lots, requiring a holistic approach to meet all of Bield's insurance needs. Engaging in this procurement can facilitate business growth through a long-term partnership with a reputable organisation in the housing and community amenities sector. ## Notice 1. Bield is seeking to award a single-supplier contract for the provision of Insurance Services, covering all of Bield's insurance requirements. The intention is to award the contract to an insurance broker; however submissions from insurance carriers will be considered where that carrier is able to provide all of Bield's insurance requirements. Submissions for individual elements of Bield's insurance requirements will not be considered. For the purposes of this procurement process, an insurance carrier is considered to be 'a company which issues and assumes the risk of an insurance policy'; an insurance broker is considered to be 'an independent insurance agent who works with a number of insurance companies in order to arrange insurance cover for the client'. 2. This will be a restricted procedure. The new contract will cover the period from 01 April 2022 to 31 March 2025, with a further 24-month extension option.
