Contract works

The Insurance Office needs to be made aware of all small, medium and major works prior to works commencing on all existing buildings and new build projects.

The University has an extension within its property cover for automatic contractors' all risks insurance cover, providing the total value of the contract is no greater than £1,000,000 and the length of the contract is no greater than 12 months.

For all works that meet the above criteria, please email insurance-enquries@york.ac.uk with:

• start and completion date
• the location where the works will take place
• a full description of the works.

For contracts with a total value greater than £1,000,000 (including VAT, fees etc) and/or in excess of 12 months, there is no automatic cover.

For projects where the contractor is responsible for insuring the works, please email insurance-enquiries@york.ac.uk with evidence of the contractor’s all risks insurance policy, employers' and public liability and professional indemnity covers together with:

• start and completion date
• the location where the works will take place
• a full description of the works.

Where the University is required to provide the cover under the terms of the contract, email insurance-enquiries@york.ac.uk to arrange the required contract works insurance.
