The Provision of Goods in Transit Insurance Services to Staff

Tender description

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade meets the removal costs of its officers when they are being transferred to and from postings abroad, including cross-postings. This includes the cost of insurance of officers' ordinary furniture and household effects (plus one car) against damage and loss in the course of the removal process. The Department also wishes to include transit insurance cover for occasional shipments of State owned furniture to/from its Missions overseas as part of the overall insurance. The Department proposes to award a concession for the provision and administration of these insurance services to a single authorised insurance broker, under terms and conditions and for a period to be agreed. The selected broker will be responsible for: (i) arranging an appropriate level of cover which will be subject to standardised terms and conditions and claims procedures; and (ii) administering the insurance arrangements for the lifetime of the concession, including the processing of claims.
