Provision of Insurance and Related Services to ForHousing

ForHousing is considering the procurement of its Insurance Programme, anticipated contract start date being 1st April 2027. In advance of any formal procurement process, and in accordance with Section 17 (Preliminary Market Engagement) of the Procurement Act 2023, ForHousing intends to undertake a period of pre market engagement. The purpose of this engagement is to share early, high level thinking in relation to the proposed insurance tender and to seek feedback on how these initial ideas may be perceived by the insurance market, including considerations around market appetite, structure and deliverability. Given current market dynamics, ForHousing is keen to engage with prospective insurers, as well as brokers, to ensure that discussions are conducted in a fair, transparent and proportionate manner and without conferring any unfair competitive advantage, in line with the principles of the Procurement Act 2023. As a result, we may reach out to insurers directly where we believe there are no exclusive agreements in place with brokers. Those insurers and all other interested brokers and providers will then be invited by ForHousing to participate in a pre market engagement meeting. Please note the following dates and times in your calendars: Tuesday 21st July 3.30pm to 4.30pm Thursday 23 July 10am – 11am ForHousing will present an overview of the business, strategic plans for the next 3-5 years, risk appetite and existing strategy. There will then follow the opportunity for questions during the allocated time (expected to be 30 mins including the presentation) If, however, a further separate meeting is required for interested parties please do contact us. ForHousing would then further assess market capacity and appetite for the Business and any specific requirements that potential Bidders might have and which needs to be factored into the Tender process or the specification in due course.
