Procedure rationaleThis contract is to be awarded on the grounds of urgency due to the need to maintain continuity of Life Assurance cover for Orbit colleagues. This forms a commitment of Orbit's to its colleagues. The existing policy is due to expire imminently, and any lapse in cover could result in a risk to our colleagues and their families. Orbit engaged the Employee Benefits Collective (EBC) LLP to complete a market exercise specifically for Orbit's Life Assurance Cover. EBC engaged a number of insurance providers to invite pricing to provide cover. Due to a increase in the number of claims under the policy in the last few years, several providers opted not to quote. Due to the timescales available, Orbit intends to direct award a contract to Canada Life whose response to the broker represented the greatest value from the responses received. A direct award is necessary to ensure uninterrupted provision of the expiring insurance cover. Orbit will re-procure a new contract for the future provision of this insurance cover in 2026, with the new contract to commence when this 1 year contract expires.
