The lotProcurement structure

Lot #1The Council currently effects cover for 1,155 Right to Buy leasehold properties,…AwardedRenewal 3 yrs

The Council currently effects cover for 1,155 Right to Buy leasehold properties, however it is anticipated that this figure could increase by up to 2% by the commencement date of the contract.

The number of properties to be insured may also decrease because leaseholders have the right to enfranchisement when the ratio of leaseholders to Council tenants reaches two thirds and at least 50% of the leaseholders wish to exercise this right.

A revised property listing will be provided before the commencement of the contract.

Properties are to be insured on a blanket basis, without selection, irrespective of location or previous claims history and inclusion under the policy will be automatic on completion of sale.

Contract period: 1 Apr 2025 – 31 Mar 2028 (3 yrs)
Delivery: London
Extensions: An initial period of three years with the option to extend for a further two years.Variant bids: not allowed

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
