Securing the right insurance cover, at the right price, is crucial in helping the public sector to protect its people and assets. Our new Insurance and Related Services 3 (IS3) solution is designed to help you do just that. 

Building on the success of the previous iterations of the framework, we have widened its scope to provide access to a complete range of insurance and associated services, including liability, property & construction, travel, personal accident, motor, health and life products.

To ensure the solution remains flexible and easy to use, for the first time, we have split it into 2 commercial agreements: 

  • RM6020 – which has a Lot for insurance brokers (Lot 1)  and a Lot for claims handling suppliers (Lot 2)
  • RM6138 – a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for insurers

In designing IS3, we made sure it retained the elements that were essential to the success of the previous frameworks: facilitating low cost, OJEU compliant access to leading brokers and insurers. 

To ensure a cutting-edge solution, and following significant engagement with our customers, we have also added the following innovations:

  • Access to all classes of insurance, including health, life and staff benefits
  • Additional insurance suppliers can be added to RM6138 at any time to provide capacity, competition and flexibility
  • There are now 4 claims management companies on a separate lot
  • Direct award option for brokerage services

By securing your insurance and brokerage services from IS3, you can gain access to the buying power of central government, guaranteed to drive best value for your organisation
