CPV 667 – Reinsurance Services

What does CPV 667 cover?

CPV group 667 covers reinsurance services procured by public contracting authorities. Reinsurance refers to the process by which an insurance company transfers part of its accepted risks to a reinsurer. In the public sector, this is particularly relevant for public insurance carriers, municipal insurance schemes, and public enterprises operating self-insurance models.

Public insurance carriers such as municipal loss compensation funds, state-owned fire insurance monopolies, and state export credit insurance providers require reinsurance capacity to cover major losses and accumulation risks. In several EU member states, publicly-owned insurance institutions procure reinsurance services through formal competitive procurement procedures under CPV 667.

Reinsurance markets are highly specialised and globally oriented. The leading providers are international reinsurance groups headquartered in Munich, Zurich, London, and other financial centres. For public contracting authorities requiring reinsurance capacity, tenders under CPV 667 are an important instrument for transparent and competitive procurement of these specialist services. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
