Insurance and indemnity guidance
Insurance requirements are included in contracts to ensure that third party contractors/tenderers have the financial resources to respond to claims where it is found liable for negligent acts or omissions appropriate to the type of products/services provided and the associated risk exposures involved in performing their obligations under the contract. Insurance requirements are intended to protect an organisation from bearing the cost of claims arising from the negligent acts or omissions of tenderers/contractors.
The SCA has published Guidance on Indemnity and Insurance along with self assessment templates designed to assist State Authorities in identifying insurance requirements and setting appropriate limits of indemnity.
