About this data
- Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

One Manchester is undertaking early market engagement with prospective bidders and other participants within the insurance market in advance of its forthcoming insurance services tender. The purpose of this pre-engagement activity is to provide an overview of our organisation, outline our anticipated insurance requirements, and present our proposed procurement approach and indicative timetable.
The sessions will also provide an opportunity for interested parties to ask questions, offer high-level feedback, and help inform the development of the final tender documentation prior to the formal launch of the procurement.
Attendance at any meeting or event is entirely optional and will not form part of the evaluation process, nor will it confer any advantage or disadvantage in the subsequent tender.
This pre-engagement is intended solely to promote transparency, improve market understanding, and support an open and competitive procurement process.
If you wish to attend a meeting, please confirm your interest by emailing [email protected].
Any pre-engagement meetings will be held online via Microsoft Teams.
