Reasons for the Decision: |
The Council’s current Insurance contract expires on the 27th February 2025. Throughout January a tender exercise took place in order to obtain suitable bids for a new contract from the 28th February 2025. The successful bidders are RMBC incumbent suppliers and have offered cover commensurate with our requirements. Two bids were received in respect of Property cover (Lot 1) and one bid received for all other cover (split between Lots 2-5). Risk Management Partner bids provided the cover required for all Lots, but Travellers won on quality and price in respect of Property (Lot 1).
