## About this tender

The US Network has provided Medical Insurance coverage for its Country Based Staff members (CBS) as part of suite of benefits for many years. The suite of benefits provided have taken on more importance with the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA provided comprehensive reform of medical, prescription drug, dental and vision insurance across the US. The main goal of the ACA is to ensure all Americans have access to affordable insurance coverage. The current contract expires on the 31st of March 2022.

The nature of Health: Stop Loss, Pharmacy and Admin and the size of the US requires that staff (and any qualifying dependents) have coverage across the 50 US States. In order to ensure geographical coverage and the optimum service provision and Contract Administration, we contract a benefits Broker.

Our current Broker is Willis Towers Watson (WTW), whom we have appointed on a separate contract. The Broker specialises in managing the contract, yearly renegotiations, legal advice provision in relation to state and federal changes as well as helping post forecast their expenses and staff contributions for the year ahead. They will be acting as the key point of contact for this procurement opportunity.

The Contract is to be for a period of up to five (5) years. Three (3) years, with an option to extend for two (2) additional years upon agreement between Authority and Contractor. The contract for the original three (3) year period is scheduled to start on the 1st of April 2022 and shall expire on 31 March 2025, unless extended.

All tender documentation will be sent by, and all substantive communication between the Authority and bidders will be conducted via the FCDO's specialist broker Willis Towers Watson.

All bidders must:

- Be licensed to do business in the United States (U.S.).
- Follow U.S. regulations.
- Have a U.S. presence.
- Own their own U.S. networks (Only major carriers will be considered; Third Party Administrators (TPA's) will not be considered).

Companies will be asked to provide:

- Copy of the certificate of incorporation

- Evidence of current shareholders' funds / equity
- Business plans and projection for the next 2 - 3 years
