What is being bought

Treaty Reinsurance Framework intended to employ the services of a broker for the purpose of placing treaties of reinsurance relating to Export Credit Agency activities. We intend to award this framework to a single reinsurance broker who will then place treaties of reinsurance on behalf of UK Export Finance. Please note, this is a separate requirement to that of UKEF's Credit Political Risk - Broker Contract requirement, which is facultative reinsurance focused. Whilst the total value has not been determined yet and no guarantees of spend will be entered in to, UKEF anticipate total spend in excess of £5million over 5 years. All details relating to spend, competition documentation and contract start/end dates are subject to change and details of exact eligibility criteria will be defined within competition documentation.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 66. The category anchor is Insurance services (66510000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 661,4563 median · 18.8 average (532 of 1,456 with a bid count)2.2 average (605 of 1,456 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK4625.5 median · 27.1 average (130 of 462 with a bid count)3 average (160 of 462 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

We plan to have a virtual market engagement event via Microsoft Teams Monday 20th April. Timings to be confirmed. Following this event, a Request For Information (RFI) will be issued to all potential suppliers in attendance. For an invitation to the market engagement event and subsequent RFI engagement, please contact commercial@ukexportfinance.gov.uk no later than COP Friday 17th April. N.B please do not reach out to any UKEF individuals for an invitation to this event. Due to the confidential nature of the information required to form treaties of reinsurance, only organisations capable of providing this service will be permitted to attend. We define capability as suppliers who are FCA registered brokers specialising in treaty reinsurance with a credit and political risks focus. The suppliers must also be Lloyds registered as they must be capable of accessing Lloyds insurance companies to fulfil the requirement. The Authority may have further conversations or discussions with the market following the RFI, dependent on responses.engagement29 Jun 2026scheduled
