Please advise within your Tender Specification if this cannot be complied with. The Authority allows a successful Tender to transfer the insurance policies placed as a result of this Tender to another insurer during the term of the LTA provided that the new insurer is in the same ultimate as the original one, the insurer credit rating is not adversely affected and the terms and conditions of the insurance remain the same.
