Procedure

Features
The procurement is split into 9 Lots, with only Lots 1, 4 , 5 & 6 requiring capacity from follow insurers and therefore being let. Follow insurer Tenderers are invited to complete the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) alongside completion of the Information to Tender (IfT) which includes Quality, Social Value and Commercial criteria for each Lot. Following the evaluation and negotiation processes (if required) as outlined within the IfT (Section 7), Tenderers who successfully pass all criteria within the PSQ and have the highest-ranking score(s) resulting in 100% co-insurance in each Lot will be awarded as insurers for their respective Lot.
