*This framework is presently being retendered with an anticipated launch date of 1^st February 2021. Please contact Gary Sadler for further details.

CPC members can procure insurance for colleges and/or insurance-related services and products directly from insurers, or via brokers, or a mixture of both using this framework.

College members saved an average of 40.16% on their annual insurance premiums in 2019 (data and feedback received on tenders undertaken in 2019 for both repeat and new users).

Over a typical three or five-year long-term agreement (LTA) the colleges stand to save between £2.2m and £3.7m which can be reinvested into other areas within the institutions, delivering a better educational experience for their students.

The framework provides CPC members with college insurance covers which include but are not limited to:

• Loss of or damage to any property including IT equipment, money, refrigerated/frozen food, property in transit
• Works of art insurance
• Loss due to dishonesty of employees or crime by third parties
• Loss or damage to contract works
• Loss or damage caused by terrorism
• Employers liability
• Public and products liability
• Governors and officers liability
• Libel and slander
• Professional liability
• Hirers liability
• Cyber liability
• Personal accident
• Business and student travel
• Legal expenses and employment practices liability
• Motor, motor trade, motor sport and occasional business use
• Damage to plant and engineering plant inspection services, marine and aviation

“To say we were pleased with the outcome was an understatement.”

Tracy Cooney, Procurement & Contracts Officer, Burton & South Derbyshire College

How can I use this Framework

To select your preferred provider, members must undertake a further competition considering your own insurance requirements. Please read the user guide for full details and guidance including template documentation.

Many college renewal dates fall into August, so we would typically recommend starting the tender process as early as March or April allowing you and the framework providers plenty of time to get the very best from your tender processes.
