Tender description

Under its Concession Agreement with the DfT, London St. Pancras Highspeed (LSPH) is required to source a range of insurance policies. These policies must provide levels of cover which are specified in Schedule 5 (pages 150 – 157) of the Concession Agreement, which is available on LSPH’s website at https://stpancras-highspeed.com/our-company/regulatory/regulatory-docs/ (click on ‘Download’ button in the Concession Agreement section). LSPH is seeking to appoint an Insurance Broker to deliver its obligations at optimal cost, whilst minimising risk to LSPH. LSPH will be replacing its current Insurance Broker Services contract in July 2026. The contract will be for 5 years with an option to extend up to 3 more years, to deliver the services, to be defined in more detail in the ITT stage of this procurement – for those suppliers that are successful in the initial PSQ stage. The successful tenderer will ensure that all the required policies are placed for the initial annual insurance renewal date is 14th November 2026, and subsequent years thereafter. This date is non-negotiable and we will need a notification to go to the DfT one month prior on progress and expected placements. If any tenderer feels that this could not be achieved, they must raise this as soon as possible in the process. This PSQ is being issued by LSPH in connection with a Competitive Flexible procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Please review the introduction, process details, and instruction for participation in Attachment 1, provided as an attachment to this PSQ (Procurement Specific Questionnaire).
