Decision details

(1) That the insurance tender process for property, motor, fidelity guarantee, personal accident, school journey, minibuses shops blanket, and engineering inspections be re-run.

(2) That existing insurance contracts, currently due to expire on 30^th April 2016, be extended for three months to 31^st July 2016. 

The Council had intended to tender its insurance policies (excluding casualty insurance) through the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Framework with a start date of 1^st May 2016. However, on 25^th February 2016 it was announced that the framework was expiring and it was no longer possible to proceed. It is therefore necessary to extend the current contracts by three months to allow re-tendering under the new CCS Framework.
