Edgewise Insurance Brokers welcomes invitations to participate in insurance broker tenders, RFPs, RFQs and other formal procurement exercises.
We provide insurance broking and risk management services to organisations across Melbourne and Australia, with a particular focus on privately owned businesses generating annual turnover between $5 million and $250 million.
While this segment represents the core of our client base, our experience extends across organisations of varying sizes and complexity, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), large privately owned corporations, property and investment groups, not-for-profit organisations, and ASX-listed entities.
If your organisation is reviewing its insurance broker, undertaking a competitive procurement process, or looking to appoint a new insurance broker, we welcome the opportunity to participate.

Our Capabilities
At Edgewise Insurance Brokers we help organisations identify, manage, and protect themselves against business risk.
Insurance is an important part of that process, but we also recognise that effective risk management extends beyond insurance. Where appropriate, we can help organisations consider insurance as part of a broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework.
Our insurance broking capabilities include:
Property & Asset Protection
- Property Insurance, including Industrial Special Risks (ISR)
- Business Packs
- Motor Fleet
- Marine and Goods in Transit
Liability & Professional Risk
- Public and Products Liability
- Professional Indemnity
- Cyber Liability
Management & Executive Protection
- Management Liability
- Directors & Officers (D&O) Insurance
We can work with organisations to review their existing insurance arrangements, identify potential gaps or areas for improvement, and develop an insurance programme aligned with their risk profile and objectives.
Organisations We Work With
We welcome procurement opportunities from businesses of all sizes.
Our clients operate across a broad range of industries and occupations. We have particular experience with:
- Accountants
- Agriculture
- Construction
- Engineers
- Faith-based organisations
- Not-for-Profits
- Golf Clubs
- Nursing
- Retail
While these are areas of particular experience, our insurance broking services are not limited to these industries. We are happy to consider procurement opportunities from organisations operating in other sectors where our capabilities are relevant.
Insurance Broker Procurement
If your organisation is considering appointing a new insurance broker or reviewing its existing insurance programme, Edgewise Insurance Brokers can participate in a range of formal procurement processes.
We can provide:
Formal Tender, RFP or RFQ Responses
If you are conducting a insurance broker tender, Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ) or other procurement exercise, we welcome the opportunity to submit a formal response.
We can respond to your requirements and provide information about our approach, capabilities, services and proposed insurance broking arrangements.
Review of Your Current Insurance Program
As part of a broker review or procurement process, we can assess your existing insurance programme and provide an independent perspective on its structure, coverage and suitability for your organisation's risks.
This can include reviewing existing policies, limits, deductibles, insurer arrangements and areas where your insurance programme may be improved.
Indicative Pricing
Where appropriate, we can provide indicative pricing as part of the procurement process, helping your organisation assess the potential cost of appointing a new insurance broker and reviewing its insurance arrangements.
The information required will depend on the nature and scope of the procurement exercise.
Why Include Edgewise in Your Insurance Broker Tender?
When choosing a broker, it's important to find one who is 'just right'.
A broker that is too small may struggle to provide the technical expertise, insurer relationships, specialist resources and market access required to support a growing or complex organisation.
Conversely, a broker that is too large can become impersonal, with clients feeling like one of many accounts managed through multiple teams and layers of administration.
For procurement teams and insurance buyers, Edgewise represents a genuine middle ground between small local brokers and large multinational firms, delivering the balance of capability, responsiveness, and client focus that many organisations find difficult to achieve elsewhere.
