Official UK procurement notice
Leaseholder Block Insurance · UK public procurement notice
Authority: Sheffield City Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionSheffield City Council requires property insurance in respect of private dwellings sold on a leasehold basis, the majority of which were under the Right to Buy legislation. The dwellings are flats in blocks and houses where the Council still retain the freehold ownership. The flats and blocks may house Council rental tenants in the same block as the private leaseholder tenants, so insurance needs to be provided on the same basis for all the tenants.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Nov 2030, 23:59 GMT.
- No preliminary market engagement: Not required as procurement of existing services
CPV: Insurance services

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