291 Harrow Road Housebuilder warranty
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
This sits in the upper-middle of the Financial & Insurance Services band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 8,013 valued Financial & Insurance Services tenders in our corpus.
Westminster City Council has published 5 Financial & Insurance Services notices, about every 6 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around February 2027.
37% of Westminster City Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The requirement: The Council requires a housebuilder warranty and insurance policy for the 291 Harrow Road development.
The Council, acting as the developer, has appointed a main contractor to undertake pre-construction services and ultimately to construct three towers at the 291 Harrow Road site.
In total the three towers will deliver 144 new homes.
Construction is due to commence in late 2027.
Council requires a suitable warranty and insurance provider for the new build including cover for the works and structural warranty post-completion.
The requirement is for a 12-year policy, including the two-year defect liability period after the practical completion.
It must cover both the private sale and social rent units.
The policy must protect purchaser deposits if the contractor becomes insolvent before completion, a warranty for the private sale building block (which is attached to an existing already insured Private Accommodation Building), and appropriate for both UK and overseas purchasers.
