Procurement Method Details
Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen
This contract is to be awarded on the grounds of urgency due to the need to maintain continuity of Life Assurance cover for Orbit colleagues. This forms a commitment of Orbit's to its colleagues. The existing policy is due to expire imminently, and any lapse in cover could result in a risk to our colleagues and their families. Orbit engaged the Employee Benefits Collective (EBC) LLP to complete a market exercise specifically for Orbit's Life Assurance Cover. EBC engaged a number of insurance providers to invite pricing to provide cover. Due to a increase in the number of claims under the policy in the last few years, several providers opted not to quote. Due to the timescales available, Orbit intends to direct award a contract to Canada Life whose response to the broker represented the greatest value from the responses received. A direct award is necessary to ensure uninterrupted provision of the expiring insurance cover. Orbit will re-procure a new contract for the future provision of this insurance cover in 2026, with the new contract to commence when this 1 year contract expires.
