    Brief

    The Department for Transport is awarding a three-year contract to Crawford & Company Adjusters (UK) Limited for the continued handling of Industrial Disease Claims from former British Railways Board employees. This direct award, permitted under the Procurement Act 2023 Schedule 5 Paragraph 7, is based on the operational necessity of service continuity. The incumbent supplier currently manages an existing portfolio of claims (registered by 31st October 2025) for which fees have been prepaid. Transitioning to a new supplier would create significant challenges including duplicate payment costs, complex transfer of sensitive case data, management of multiple contracts and databases, and legal complexities under TUPE Regulations due to specialist staff employment. The contract covers the ongoing management of the current claim portfolio plus any new claims received from 1st November 2025 onwards. This approach avoids service fragmentation, protects public funds, and maintains specialist knowledge continuity. The contract is valued at £100,000 (excluding VAT) and runs for three years, commencing 1st November 2025.
