Session
Learn to view renewals and tenders not just as procedural checkpoints, but as strategic platforms to showcase your organisation’s strengths and commitment to risk excellence. Gain a deeper understanding of the distinct characteristics of insurance rating in the public sector (PS) and how it differs from the commercial market. This session explores the bespoke underwriting practices tailored to PS exposures, the complexities of long-tail claims, and the importance of sustainable, long-term pricing strategies. Discover why prudence and predictability are central to PS pricing, and how proactive risk management can unlock better coverage and commercial outcomes.
