Cabinet considered a report seeking authorisation to invite tenders for the renewal of Council’s insurance policies, including claims handling.

It was noted that they were last tendered in 2019 for a 5 year period and are therefore due for renewal next Spring.  The report details the high level criteria used to evaluate bids received, and provides full details of the procurement process.
