## Summary

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service procured insurance placement services for its operations, with delivery associated with its headquarters on Westburn Drive, Cambuslang. The requirement was a single service lot covering the provision of insurance placement. This is a financial and risk-management service rather than the supply of insurance equipment or general administrative support. The buyer is a public-sector fire and rescue organisation responsible for public safety in Scotland. The contracted service is therefore relevant to insurance brokers, insurance companies and specialist insurance placement providers with experience of arranging cover for public-sector organisations and advising on the associated risks. The published classification places the requirement within insurance and pension services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure through the ESPO Insurance Placement Dynamic Purchasing System framework. Zurich Insurance PLC trading as Zurich Municipal was selected for the single lot. The contract is active and was signed on 30 March 2026. Its value is £14,263,193. Two bids were received, both submitted electronically, and neither came from an SME. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome records identify the selected supplier and contract value, but do not provide a separate award date or a stated contract end date. Glasgow Sheriff and Justice of the Peace Court is identified as the review body.

This award confirms substantial demand from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service for specialist insurance placement delivered through a public-sector purchasing route. It shows that credible competitors need to be able to operate within, or access, the ESPO Insurance Placement Dynamic Purchasing System and manage an open-procedure competition. The selected supplier is a large insurance business, so relevant competitors should be able to demonstrate comparable corporate capacity, financial resilience and the ability to handle a sizeable public-sector insurance placement. Experience of broking or placing complex organisational cover, understanding public-sector risk, and managing electronic tender submissions would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement. The market evidence also indicates competition from international suppliers.
