Decision details
Extension of Insurance and Claims Handling Contract for 18 months from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2023
Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Strategic Resources
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To approve the extension of the insurance and
claims handling contract for 18 months until after local government
re-organisation.
Decision:
The Authority extends the current contract for
Insurance and Claims Handling from 1st October 2021 to 31st March
2023.
Reasons for the decision:
To ensure insurance cover is in place until
the Local Government Reorganisation begins on 1st April 2023,
during which time a re-procurement for insurance for the new
organisation will be undertaken to commence from 1 April
2023.
Alternative options considered:
Re-procure the insurance provision for a short
term contract, however timescales no longer permit this, and this
option was not attractive to the market. The costs would be high to
offset the fact that the new Authority will be tendering for
insurance from 1st April 2023. The mobilisation costs and time for
a short term arrangement would be significant, therefore this
option was not viable.
