## Summary

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service procured insurance placement services, classified under insurance services (CPV 66510000). The requirement concerns arranging and placing insurance cover for the organisation’s operational needs. The buyer is Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, based at its headquarters in Cambuslang. North Lanarkshire Council is also identified as a buyer in the process, although the procurement is led by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. The selected suppliers are Zurich Municipal, based in Swindon, and Gartner UK Ltd, based in London, indicating that the requirement was open to established insurance-sector providers operating across the UK. This is a specialist professional services opportunity rather than a purchase of physical goods, construction or general administrative support.

This procurement has been awarded. The process began on 4 January 2026 and received two bids. Zurich Municipal was awarded the insurance placement requirement for £14,263,193. The related contract is recorded as active. Gartner UK Ltd is identified as a supplier involved in the procurement, but the available award information does not allocate an award value to it. The recorded requirement is a single insurance placement service, with no separate lots identified. The award outcome shows that the buyer selected an insurance provider through a competitive tender process, although the published information does not state the evaluation weighting or a contract end date. This is therefore an awarded opportunity rather than a current route to submit a bid.

For insurance brokers, insurers and specialist placement providers, this award demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for insurance placement by Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to understand the risks and liabilities of a national emergency-service organisation, design or source appropriate insurance arrangements, negotiate effectively with underwriters and manage placement through to policy inception and administration. The successful market response also suggests that the buyer can attract established providers with the capacity to handle a large, complex insurance portfolio. Firms with strong public-sector references, access to broad insurer markets, robust compliance controls and experienced placement teams would be well placed to compete when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
