Insurance Placement DPS for the Housing Sector - 1051
Framework Description
YPO's Insurance Placement DPS for the Housing Sector (1051) is a single-lot Dynamic Purchasing System through which housing organisations buy insurance cover. It sits in YPO's Financial Services category and runs until 23 February 2029, with no extension. As a DPS, it keeps admitting new suppliers throughout its life, unlike frameworks that are closed to new applications.
Context & Use Case
Housing organisations use 1051 to source insurance for their property and liability risks through competitions among admitted providers, instead of tendering each requirement on their own. Because it is a DPS, buyers invite all suitable admitted suppliers to bid for each requirement, so a newly admitted insurer can compete straight away.
Scope of Services
Single lot: insurance placement for the housing sector Property insurance Liability insurance Other cover required by housing organisations
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
Insurers and providers that write cover for housing organisations, particularly property and liability, can apply to join at any point while the DPS is open, provided they meet YPO's selection criteria. With a single lot there is no lot choice to make: one application covers all competitions on the DPS.
Buyer Benefits
Housing buyers get quick access to providers who understand the sector, and every placement is a fresh competition, so premiums and terms are tested against the market each time. The DPS stays open to new entrants, which widens the field of insurers bidding for housing risks and helps keep pricing competitive.
Next Steps
Review the DPS documents on YPO's page (https://www.ypo.co.uk/frameworks-home/900240) and check the selection criteria, including any financial and regulatory requirements. Apply through YPO's portal, then prepare a standard response pack for placements so you can turn competitions round quickly. The DPS closes on 23 February 2029.
