Opportunity overview

This Modification Notice relates to the extension of the existing Insurance Provision contract. Having sought advice, to meet our statutory regulatory requirements as a Registered Social Landlord, these public contracts shall be modified and awarded under Regulation 72 (1) (c) utilising the Modification of contracts during their term “by circumstances Viewpoint Housing Association (VHA) could not have foreseen”. These circumstances include current restructure of Viewpoint’s Senior Executive and Leadership teams, in particular the retirement of the current Director of Finance and Business Support who oversees the insurance arrangements of the Association. This informed decision is based on; the ongoing insurance marketplace uncertainty reflective of the post-Brexit economic environment, the far-reaching impact of the war in Ukraine, recent challenges faced by RSL’s relating to all services, and the current cost-of-living pressures; while concurrently seeking to ensure effective continuity of our insurance services to meet our statutory regulatory requirements. Furthermore, there are ongoing challenges in the housing insurance market, which has hardened over the last 24 month with resultant increased premiums for property insurance. For these reasons, we seek to extend our current insurance contract to allow Viewpoint focus on our internal restructuring and to allow the insurance market to soften, so we are in the best position to proceed with a tender process. VHA intend to go out to the marketplace for a new contract for Insurance Provision and this procurement process will commence 2027 Q2 with a target effective date contract date of 1 October 2027.
