Insurance Services (excluding Brokerage Services)

The objective of this procurement is to procure the key insurance coverage requirements of the council(s), including procurement of statutory inspections. This tender is for Insurance Services (Excluding Brokerage Services).

The three councils covered under this procurement work together as "The South & East Lincolnshire Council Partnership (SELCP)", which is the largest Council partnership in the country and, whilst they are distinct separate legal entities, their close working partnership means they can make a greater impact and bring efficiencies in tackling wider common challenges; In many cases, section 113 agreements exist between the councils where one council will employ a member of staff and these costs are then recharged proportionately across other authorities. As such, we are looking to procure both those requirements where a separate risk profile exists and join those requirements where there is some commonality and in particular due to the cross-over of roles and responsibilities between the parties.

As all three councils are separate legal entities, there is a requirement that for those Lots where we are looking to procure the three authorities' requirements under one Lot, the successful bidders have in place a process where, if separate policies are not issued, then costs can be apportioned to each authority in its own right. There is a further organisation key to the councils' partnership which is PSPSL Ltd; This is a separate Local Authority Trading Company, wholly owned by the three councils and who perform certain core internal functions on behalf of the three councils.
