Published justification

Centre For Process Innovation Limited (CPI) is putting out this notice as a VEAT (Voluntary Ex ante Transparency Notice) as CPI intends to complete a Direct Award to Newline Insurance Company Limited for the provision of the classes of

insurance identified below, without a call for competition in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

The bulk of insurance services to be obtained under the Direct Award shall relate to Public & Products Liability & Errors & Omissions Liability and Clinical Trials Liability.

The contract duration is expected to be 24 months from 1st December 24 and the value of the contracts will be £507,172.59.

The justification for a Direct Award is the Life Sciences insurance market is protecting organisations against a unique range of risks, with differing exposures, the nature of the insurance requires extensive risk analysis of matters such as type of clinical trials being undertaken.

Furthermore there is a limited marketplace of organisations that undertake the specialist & complex business activities that CPI undertake (CPI operates as technology and research innovation centre specialising in highly advanced medicine manufacture,

formulations, therapeutic biologicals manufacture, and electronics & photonics systems) whereby it is considered the insurance market would not be able to adequately assess &

provide quotations to CPI via a Public Contracts Regulation tender process.

It is because of these complex challenges that CPI via their procured broker have approached a number of

Insurers are proposing to continue working with their current insurance provider Newline Insurance Company Limited.
