Insurance Commitments (No Upfront Purchase Needed)

Standard public thresholds: Employer Liability (£5m), Public Liability (£5m-£10m), Professional Indemnity (£1m-£5m).✓ Commitment required upon award only — no upfront policy purchase needed to bid

Prior similar contracts — this authority

No comparable prior awards found

We did not find published awards for this buyer (or the same beneficiary) that link reliably to an earlier similar contract — comparable scope, CPV market and enough overall contract similarity. That does not prove there are no incumbents; only that open data does not meet our evidence threshold.

How this section works

Awards on this notice come only from published award data on this OCID. Prior similar contracts (this authority) lists suppliers who won earlier awards for this buyer on a comparable scope; they are not appointed on this notice until awards are published.

Methodology & coverage notes (4 active published awards)

Coverage: 4 active published awards; 1 bid reports (which may be per lot); 3 valued awards. Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Every figure carries an evidence level: Robust (5+ observations), Moderate (3–4), Indicative (1–2). Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.
