Dear
1. Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000
Thank you for your email of 23 March in which you requested from the Insolvency Service:
- Please confirm the name, position and contact details (telephone number and email address) of the person responsible for arranging and administering the Authority’s insurances.
- Which classes of commercial insurance do the Authority currently procure? When are these policies due for renewal?
- How much does the Authority spend annually on its insurance premium?
- Please confirm the name of the Authority’s current insurance broker/advisor (if applicable).
- When was the contract for insurance broking services last reviewed/tendered?
- When will the current contract for insurance brokerage services expire? Is this subject to a potential extension?
Your request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
I can confirm the agency holds the information that you have requested and I have provided answers to your questions below.
The name and contact details of the person responsible for arranging the insurance is exempt from disclosure under S40(2) of the FOIA because it constitutes personal data. Personal data can only be released if to do so would not contravene any of the data protection principles set out in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018. This is an absolute exemption and does not require a public interest test.
All of the other information you have requested is available here on the contract notice.
If you are not satisfied with the response we have provided you and would like us to reconsider our decision by way of an internal review (IR), please contact our Information Rights Team at foi@insolvency.gov.uk or by post at:

You also have the right to contact the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) if you wish for them to investigate any complaint you may have regarding our handling of your request. However, please note that the ICO is likely to expect an IR to have been completed in the first instance.
Kind regards
