Purchasing and Supply

Individuals and organizations who supply goods or services to the City or use City facilities are required to provide evidence of insurance as part of the terms and conditions of the contract, purchase order, permit, license or other form of agreement.  

The minimum acceptable per-occurrence limit required for comprehensive general liability and for automobile liability insurance is $2,000,000. Please refer to the contract as requirements may vary.

The City of London has three certificate forms. The appropriate form must be completed and signed by your insurance broker (or insurer).

• Certificate of Insurance – Standard:  This form is used for agreements, permits, leases, licenses, special events and other activities/programs where proof of liability insurance is required.
• Certificate of Insurance – Contractors:  Contracts for infrastructure design and construction projects require completion of this certificate.
• Certificate of Insurance - Professional Liability:  This form is for consultants or other professionals undertaking work for the City.

It is important to note that these three forms are the only certificates accepted by the City of London.

If you have any questions regarding insurance on bids and tenders, please contact the Purchasing Division at  519-661-4900 or Fax 519-661-5030.
