Insurance
-
Why does CBRE require suppliers to hold insurance coverage?
Insurances are essential to protect suppliers, CBRE and our clients from risks during project delivery and daily operations on CBRE and / or client sites.
Providing the required insurance certificates at onboarding stages and maintaining renewal of these ensures that all suppliers and contractors safeguard not only their own business interest but also our clients' interests, aligns with well-established standard business practices as well as legal and regulatory obligations. CBRE may on request of the client be required to evidence its supply chain compliance and being able to do so reinforces CBRE's and our supplier partners commitment to operational excellence and risk mitigation.
CBRE clients expect both CBRE and its suppliers to maintain adequate insurance coverage to protect against damages, injuries, errors, omissions, or losses that may occur during service delivery. Sufficient insurance safeguards operations from financial disruption caused by events such as natural disasters, cyber incidents, or operational failures, and supports business continuity by covering costs related to wages, liabilities, and remediation.
Ensuring supplier partners meet regulatory and best practice insurance standards strengthens overall supply chain resilience, maintains client confidence, and protects ongoing operations. Additionally, sufficient insurance helps suppliers safeguard their own financial stability and reduces the risk of insolvency.
-
What insurance policies are required during supplier onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE?
Mandatory insurance requirements for onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE are:
- Employee injury or work related illness insurance coverage. This is either statutory workers injury cover which is mandated by your government (please refer to the table below to understand what this is known by in your country) OR Employers Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
- Injury to third parties or damage to a third-party property arising from your business insurance coverage (please refer to the table below). This is either Public Liability OR General Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
It is mandatory to provide details and evidence of one of each of the insurance coverage specified in points 1 and 2. Failure to provide the requested information will prevent your supplier registration from progressing further and becoming a CBRE Supplier Partner or from your profile being published and compliant. This can impact you working with CBRE and our clients.
Additional CBRE mandatory insurances requirements depending on the nature of the services, goods, or work provided. CBRE may require the additional coverage (please refer to the table below).
Depending on the services or goods provided, CBRE may request additional insurance types on a case-by-case basis. Because these policies are priced according to the specific work profile, suppliers are not expected to provide final coverage values at onboarding. Instead, a letter from your insurer or evidence from a current project (not necessarily with CBRE) is sufficient to confirm that this insurance exists within your business. For additional non-mandatory insurances requirements please refer to the table below.
See table below for more information on insurance required.
| Insurance Coverage | Insurance Type | Mandatory? | Scenario | Indemnity |
| Employee injury or work-related illness, including any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Employer's liability insurance or any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Yes | All suppliers | $1M |

Providing mandatory insurance evidence ensures your supplier profile meets CBRE's minimum compliance standards, making you eligible for use across all CBRE accounts. Even if you currently hold only one purchase order, your compliant profile is visible to all CBRE account and project managers, increasing your opportunities to be invited to quote for additional work.
Providing recommended insurances evidence helps ensure your profile aligns with requirements for all services and goods you offer. Suppliers with appropriate insurance coverage are more likely to be selected by CBRE account and project managers, increasing your potential for additional opportunities.
Yes. CBRE may request additional insurance types or higher coverage levels on a case-by-case basis, often driven by specific client requirements for site access or project risk. Any such requirements will be communicated when you are invited to quote for the work or if a client updates the insurance obligations tied to an existing Purchase Order.
When your insurance certificate or other evidence of coverage expires, you will receive an automated reminder to upload updated documentation. If you do not update it promptly, your supplier profile will be suspended, removing your approved status and preventing CBRE teams from requesting quotes or placing orders. To ensure reminders reach you, please provide a monitored, generic company email address.
This requirement is often satisfied by providing evidence of higher Umbrella or Excess Liability limits. Because per claim or occurrence values protect against erosion of a supplier's aggregate limits by unrelated losses, the simplest alternative—without purchasing a dedicated per-occurrence policy—is to meet the required amount through a combination of Primary and Excess/Umbrella coverage.

Insurance

Why does CBRE require suppliers to hold insurance coverage?
Insurances are essential to protect suppliers, CBRE and our clients from risks during project delivery and daily operations on CBRE and / or client sites.
Providing the required insurance certificates at onboarding stages and maintaining renewal of these ensures that all suppliers and contractors safeguard not only their own business interest but also our clients' interests, aligns with well-established standard business practices as well as legal and regulatory obligations. CBRE may on request of the client be required to evidence its supply chain compliance and being able to do so reinforces CBRE's and our supplier partners commitment to operational excellence and risk mitigation.
CBRE clients expect both CBRE and its suppliers to maintain adequate insurance coverage to protect against damages, injuries, errors, omissions, or losses that may occur during service delivery. Sufficient insurance safeguards operations from financial disruption caused by events such as natural disasters, cyber incidents, or operational failures, and supports business continuity by covering costs related to wages, liabilities, and remediation.
Ensuring supplier partners meet regulatory and best-practice insurance standards strengthens overall supply chain resilience, maintains client confidence, and protects ongoing operations. Additionally, sufficient insurance helps suppliers safeguard their own financial stability and reduces the risk of insolvency.
-
What insurance policies are required during supplier onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE?
Mandatory insurance requirements for onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE are:
- Employee injury or work-related illness insurance coverage. This is either statutory workers injury cover which is mandated by your government (please refer to the table below to understand what this is known by in your country) OR Employers Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
- Injury to third parties or damage to a third-party property arising from your business insurance coverage (please refer to the table below). This is either Public Liability OR General Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
It is mandatory to provide details and evidence of one of each of the insurance coverage specified in points 1 and 2. Failure to provide the requested information will prevent your supplier registration from progressing further and becoming a CBRE Supplier Partner or from your profile being published and compliant. This can impact you working with CBRE and our clients.
Additional CBRE mandatory insurances requirements depending on the nature of the services, goods, or work provided. CBRE may require the additional coverage (please refer to the table below).
Depending on the services or goods provided, CBRE may request additional insurance types on a case-by-case basis. Because these policies are priced according to the specific work profile, suppliers are not expected to provide final coverage values at onboarding. Instead, a letter from your insurer or evidence from a current project (not necessarily with CBRE) is sufficient to confirm that this insurance exists within your business. For additional non-mandatory insurances requirements please refer to the table below.
See table below for more information on insurance required.
| Insurance Coverage | Insurance Type | Mandatory? | Scenario | Indemnity |
| Employee injury or work-related illness, including any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Employer's liability insurance or any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Yes | All suppliers | $1M |

- Employee injury or work-related illness insurance coverage. This is either statutory workers injury cover which is mandated by your government (please refer to the table below to understand what this is known by in your country) OR Employers Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
- Injury to third parties or damage to a third-party property arising from your business insurance coverage (please refer to the table below). This is either Public Liability OR General Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
It is mandatory to provide details and evidence of one of each of the insurance coverage specified in points 1 and 2. Failure to provide the requested information will prevent your supplier registration from progressing further and becoming a CBRE Supplier Partner or from your profile being published and compliant. This can impact you working with CBRE and our clients.
Additional CBRE mandatory insurances requirements depending on the nature of the services, goods, or work provided. CBRE may require the additional coverage (please refer to the table below).
Depending on the services or goods provided, CBRE may request additional insurance types on a case-by-case basis. Because these policies are priced according to the specific work profile, suppliers are not expected to provide final coverage values at onboarding. Instead, a letter from your insurer or evidence from a current project (not necessarily with CBRE) is sufficient to confirm that this insurance exists within your business. For additional non-mandatory insurances requirements please refer to the table below.
See table below for more information on insurance required.
| Insurance Coverage | Insurance Type | Mandatory? | Scenario | Indemnity |
| Employee injury or work-related illness, including any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Employer's liability insurance or any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Yes | All suppliers | €3.5M |
| Injury to third parties or damage to third-party property arising from your business operations | General liability insurance or public liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | All suppliers | €3.5M |
| Product related risks, including injury or damage caused by products you manufacture, distribute, or supply | Product liability insurance, complete operations liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers that manufacture or supply products | €3.5M |
| Injury to third parties or damage to third party property arising from your on-site activities or from products you manufacture, supply, or install | Combined public and product liability insurance, combined liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers working on-site at a manufacturing facility or environment | €3.5M |
| Financial loss arising from errors, omissions, negligent advice, or other professional services you provide | Professional liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance or errors and omissions insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers providing any design, consultancy, or professional services or advice | €3.5M |
| Losses arising from employee dishonesty, fraud, or other financial crimes, particularly where your employees may have access to CBRE and/or client IT systems | Commercial crime or fidelity insurance or as applicable in your country | Recommended | Suppliers whose employees have access to CBRE and/or clients IT systems | €3.5M |
| Loss or damage to works, materials, equipment, or third-party property arising from any project-related construction, installation, or engineering activities you undertake | Contractors all risks insurance, contractors work insurance, construction all risks insurance or as applicable in your country | Recommended | Suppliers undertaking Project-related works | €3.5M |
Providing mandatory insurance evidence ensures your supplier profile meets CBRE's minimum compliance standards, making you eligible for use across all CBRE accounts. Even if you currently hold only one purchase order, your compliant profile is visible to all CBRE account and project managers, increasing your opportunities to be invited to quote for additional work.
Providing recommended insurances evidence helps ensure your profile aligns with requirements for all services and goods you offer. Suppliers with appropriate insurance coverage are more likely to be selected by CBRE account and project managers, increasing your potential for additional opportunities.
Yes. CBRE may request additional insurance types or higher coverage levels on a case-by-case basis, often driven by specific client requirements for site access or project risk. Any such requirements will be communicated when you are invited to quote for the work or if a client updates the insurance obligations tied to an existing Purchase Order.
When your insurance certificate or other evidence of coverage expires, you will receive an automated reminder to upload updated documentation. If you do not update it promptly, your supplier profile will be suspended, removing your approved status and preventing CBRE teams from requesting quotes or placing orders. To ensure reminders reach you, please provide a monitored, generic company email address.
This requirement is often satisfied by providing evidence of higher Umbrella or Excess Liability limits. Because per claim or occurrence values protect against erosion of a supplier's aggregate limits by unrelated losses, the simplest alternative—without purchasing a dedicated per-occurrence policy—is to meet the required amount through a combination of Primary and Excess/Umbrella coverage.
Licenses, Permits & Certificates
Confirm you have the correct procedures, training, tools and equipment, as well as licenses, permits and certificates to perform the services you have selected under the Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) tab, including any high-risk activities you have identified.
Provide copies of company held licences, permits or certificates required depending on the services that you will supply to CBRE or its Clients in any of the below categories:
- Management System (ISO)
- Operational (trading)
- Environment and Waste
- Labour Standards
Ensure your uploaded certificate has a valid company name listed on the certificate and a valid expiry date.

- Bank Code / Sort Code - the Irish Sort Code is a 6-digit identifier assigned to a bank branch. It is used to identify the financial institution and branch where the account is maintained and is required for domestic bank transfers within Ireland.
- SWIFT / BIC Code - the SWIFT Code (also called a BIC – Bank Identifier Code) is an internationally recognized 8- or 11-character (digits and letters) code used to identify a bank in global financial transactions. It identifies the bank, country, location, and sometimes a specific branch. SWIFT/BIC codes are commonly required for international wire transfers to ensure funds are sent to the correct bank.
- IBAN (International Bank Account Number) - the IBAN is a standardized 22-character international banking identifier used to facilitate secure and accurate cross-border payments. In Ireland, the IBAN consists of the country code, check digits, bank identifier, sort code, and account number. The IBAN helps reduce payment errors by ensuring that both the bank and account can be validated before a transfer is processed.
- Difference between IBAN and Account Number - the Account Number identifies the account itself, while the IBAN is a complete international identifier that includes the account number along with additional information needed to validate and route cross-border payments.

Insurance
-
Why does CBRE require suppliers to hold insurance coverage?
Insurances are essential to protect suppliers, CBRE and our clients from risks during project delivery and daily operations on CBRE and / or client sites.
Providing the required insurance certificates at onboarding stages and maintaining renewal of these ensures that all suppliers and contractors safeguard not only their own business interest but also our clients' interests, aligns with well-established standard business practices as well as legal and regulatory obligations. CBRE may on request of the client be required to evidence its supply chain compliance and being able to do so reinforces CBRE's and our supplier partners commitment to operational excellence and risk mitigation.
CBRE clients expect both CBRE and its suppliers to maintain adequate insurance coverage to protect against damages, injuries, errors, omissions, or losses that may occur during service delivery. Sufficient insurance safeguards operations from financial disruption caused by events such as natural disasters, cyber incidents, or operational failures, and supports business continuity by covering costs related to wages, liabilities, and remediation.
Ensuring supplier partners meet regulatory and best-practice insurance standards strengthens overall supply chain resilience, maintains client confidence, and protects ongoing operations. Additionally, sufficient insurance helps suppliers safeguard their own financial stability and reduces the risk of insolvency.
-
What insurance policies are required during supplier onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE?
Mandatory insurance requirements for onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE are:
- Employee injury or work-related illness insurance coverage. This is either statutory workers injury cover which is mandated by your government (please refer to the table below to understand what this is known by in your country) OR Employers Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
- Injury to third parties or damage to a third-party property arising from your business insurance coverage (please refer to the table below). This is either Public Liability OR General Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
It is mandatory to provide details and evidence of one of each of the insurance coverage specified in points 1 and 2. Failure to provide the requested information will prevent your supplier registration from progressing further and becoming a CBRE Supplier Partner or from your profile being published and compliant. This can impact you working with CBRE and our clients.
Additional CBRE mandatory insurances requirements depending on the nature of the services, goods, or work provided. CBRE may require the additional coverage (please refer to the table below).
Depending on the services or goods provided, CBRE may request additional insurance types on a case-by-case basis. Because these policies are priced according to the specific work profile, suppliers are not expected to provide final coverage values at onboarding. Instead, a letter from your insurer or evidence from a current project (not necessarily with CBRE) is sufficient to confirm that this insurance exists within your business. For additional non-mandatory insurances requirements please refer to the table below.
See table below for more information on insurance required.
| Insurance Coverage | Insurance Type | Mandatory? | Scenario | Indemnity |
| Employee injury or work-related illness, including any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Employer's liability insurance or any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Yes | All suppliers | €6.5-13M |
| Injury to third parties or damage to third-party property arising from your business operations | General liability insurance or public liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | All suppliers | €6.5M |
| Product related risks, including injury or damage caused by products you manufacture, distribute, or supply | Product liability insurance, complete operations liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers that manufacture or supply products | €6.5M |
| Injury to third parties or damage to third party property arising from your on-site activities or from products you manufacture, supply, or install | Combined public and product liability insurance, combined liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers working on-site at a manufacturing facility or environment | €13M |
| Financial loss arising from errors, omissions, negligent advice, or other professional services you provide | Professional liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance or errors and omissions insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers providing any design, consultancy, or professional services or advice | €6.5M |
| Losses arising from employee dishonesty, fraud, or other financial crimes, particularly where your employees may have access to CBRE and/or client IT systems | Commercial crime or fidelity insurance or as applicable in your country | Recommended | Suppliers whose employees have access to CBRE and/or clients IT systems | N/A |
| Loss or damage to works, materials, equipment, or third-party property arising from any project-related construction, installation, or engineering activities you undertake | Contractors all risks insurance, contractors work insurance, construction all risks insurance or as applicable in your country | Recommended | Suppliers undertaking Project-related works | N/A |
Providing mandatory insurance evidence ensures your supplier profile meets CBRE's minimum compliance standards, making you eligible for use across all CBRE accounts. Even if you currently hold only one purchase order, your compliant profile is visible to all CBRE account and project managers, increasing your opportunities to be invited to quote for additional work.
Providing recommended insurances evidence helps ensure your profile aligns with requirements for all services and goods you offer. Suppliers with appropriate insurance coverage are more likely to be selected by CBRE account and project managers, increasing your potential for additional opportunities.
Yes. CBRE may request additional insurance types or higher coverage levels on a case-by-case basis, often driven by specific client requirements for site access or project risk. Any such requirements will be communicated when you are invited to quote for the work or if a client updates the insurance obligations tied to an existing Purchase Order.
When your insurance certificate or other evidence of coverage expires, you will receive an automated reminder to upload updated documentation. If you do not update it promptly, your supplier profile will be suspended, removing your approved status and preventing CBRE teams from requesting quotes or placing orders. To ensure reminders reach you, please provide a monitored, generic company email address.
This requirement is often satisfied by providing evidence of higher Umbrella or Excess Liability limits. Because per claim or occurrence values protect against erosion of a supplier's aggregate limits by unrelated losses, the simplest alternative—without purchasing a dedicated per-occurrence policy—is to meet the required amount through a combination of Primary and Excess/Umbrella coverage.
Licenses, Permits & Certificates
Confirm you have the correct procedures, training, tools and equipment, as well as licenses, permits and certificates to perform the services you have selected under the Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) tab, including any high-risk activities you have identified.

Insurances are essential to protect suppliers, CBRE and our clients from risks during project delivery and daily operations on CBRE and / or client sites.
Providing the required insurance certificates at onboarding stages and maintaining renewal of these ensures that all suppliers and contractors safeguard not only their own business interest but also our clients' interests, aligns with well-established standard business practices as well as legal and regulatory obligations. CBRE may on request of the client be required to evidence its supply chain compliance and being able to do so reinforces CBRE's and our supplier partners commitment to operational excellence and risk mitigation.
CBRE clients expect both CBRE and its suppliers to maintain adequate insurance coverage to protect against damages, injuries, errors, omissions, or losses that may occur during service delivery. Sufficient insurance safeguards operations from financial disruption caused by events such as natural disasters, cyber incidents, or operational failures, and supports business continuity by covering costs related to wages, liabilities, and remediation.
Ensuring supplier partners meet regulatory and best-practice insurance standards strengthens overall supply chain resilience, maintains client confidence, and protects ongoing operations. Additionally, sufficient insurance helps suppliers safeguard their own financial stability and reduces the risk of insolvency.

What insurance policies are required during supplier onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE?
Mandatory insurance requirements for onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE are:
- Employee injury or work-related illness insurance coverage. This is either statutory workers injury cover which is mandated by your government (please refer to the table below to understand what this is known by in your country) OR Employers Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
- Injury to third parties or damage to a third-party property arising from your business insurance coverage (please refer to the table below). This is either Public Liability OR General Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
It is mandatory to provide details and evidence of one of each of the insurance coverage specified in points 1 and 2. Failure to provide the requested information will prevent your supplier registration from progressing further and becoming a CBRE Supplier Partner or from your profile being published and compliant. This can impact you working with CBRE and our clients.
Additional CBRE mandatory insurances requirements depending on the nature of the services, goods, or work provided. CBRE may require the additional coverage (please refer to the table below).
Depending on the services or goods provided, CBRE may request additional insurance types on a case-by-case basis. Because these policies are priced according to the specific work profile, suppliers are not expected to provide final coverage values at onboarding. Instead, a letter from your insurer or evidence from a current project (not necessarily with CBRE) is sufficient to confirm that this insurance exists within your business. For additional non-mandatory insurances requirements please refer to the table below.
See table below for more information on insurance required.
| Insurance Coverage | Insurance Type | Mandatory? | Scenario | Indemnity |
| Employee injury or work-related illness, including any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Employer's liability insurance or any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Yes | All suppliers | $1M |
| Injury to third parties or damage to third-party property arising from your business operations | General liability insurance or public liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | All suppliers | $1M |
| Product related risks, including injury or damage caused by products you manufacture, distribute, or supply | Product liability insurance, complete operations liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers that manufacture or supply products | $1M |
| Injury to third parties or damage to third party property arising from your on-site activities or from products you manufacture, supply, or install | Combined public and product liability insurance, combined liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers working on-site at a manufacturing facility or environment | $1M |
| Financial loss arising from errors, omissions, negligent advice, or other professional services you provide | Professional liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance or errors and omissions insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers providing any design, consultancy, or professional services or advice | $1M |
| Losses arising from employee dishonesty, fraud, or other financial crimes, particularly where your employees may have access to CBRE and/or client IT systems | Commercial crime or fidelity insurance or as applicable in your country | Recommended | Suppliers whose employees have access to CBRE and/or clients IT systems | N/A |
| Loss or damage to works, materials, equipment, or third-party property arising from any project-related construction, installation, or engineering activities you undertake | Contractors all risks insurance, contractors work insurance, construction all risks insurance or as applicable in your country | Recommended | Suppliers undertaking Project-related works | N/A |
Providing mandatory insurance evidence ensures your supplier profile meets CBRE's minimum compliance standards, making you eligible for use across all CBRE accounts. Even if you currently hold only one purchase order, your compliant profile is visible to all CBRE account and project managers, increasing your opportunities to be invited to quote for additional work.
Providing recommended insurances evidence helps ensure your profile aligns with requirements for all services and goods you offer. Suppliers with appropriate insurance coverage are more likely to be selected by CBRE account and project managers, increasing your potential for additional opportunities.
Yes. CBRE may request additional insurance types or higher coverage levels on a case-by-case basis, often driven by specific client requirements for site access or project risk. Any such requirements will be communicated when you are invited to quote for the work or if a client updates the insurance obligations tied to an existing Purchase Order.
When your insurance certificate or other evidence of coverage expires, you will receive an automated reminder to upload updated documentation. If you do not update it promptly, your supplier profile will be suspended, removing your approved status and preventing CBRE teams from requesting quotes or placing orders. To ensure reminders reach you, please provide a monitored, generic company email address.
This requirement is often satisfied by providing evidence of higher Umbrella or Excess Liability limits. Because per claim or occurrence values protect against erosion of a supplier's aggregate limits by unrelated losses, the simplest alternative—without purchasing a dedicated per-occurrence policy—is to meet the required amount through a combination of Primary and Excess/Umbrella coverage.
Licenses, Permits & Certificates
Confirm you have the correct procedures, training, tools and equipment, as well as licenses, permits and certificates to perform the services you have selected under the Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) tab, including any high-risk activities you have identified.

The account number also forms part of the account-specific section of the IBAN used for electronic payments.
- SWIFT / BIC Code - the SWIFT Code (also called a BIC — Bank Identifier Code) is an internationally recognized 8- or 11-character (digits and letters) code used to identify a bank in global financial transactions.

Why does CBRE require suppliers to hold insurance coverage?
Insurances are essential to protect suppliers, CBRE and our clients from risks during project delivery and daily operations on CBRE and / or client sites.
Providing the required insurance certificates at onboarding stages and maintaining renewal of these ensures that all suppliers and contractors safeguard not only their own business interest but also our clients' interests, aligns with well-established standard business practices as well as legal and regulatory obligations. CBRE may on request of the client be required to evidence its supply chain compliance and being able to do so reinforces CBRE's and our supplier partners commitment to operational excellence and risk mitigation.
CBRE clients expect both CBRE and its suppliers to maintain adequate insurance coverage to protect against damages, injuries, errors, omissions, or losses that may occur during service delivery. Sufficient insurance safeguards operations from financial disruption caused by events such as natural disasters, cyber incidents, or operational failures, and supports business continuity by covering costs related to wages, liabilities, and remediation.
Ensuring supplier partners meet regulatory and best-practice insurance standards strengthens overall supply chain resilience, maintains client confidence, and protects ongoing operations. Additionally, sufficient insurance helps suppliers safeguard their own financial stability and reduces the risk of insolvency.
-
What insurance policies are required during supplier onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE?
Mandatory insurance requirements for onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE are:
- Employee injury or work-related illness insurance coverage. This is either statutory workers injury cover which is mandated by your government (please refer to the table below to understand what this is known by in your country) OR Employers Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
- Injury to third parties or damage to a third-party property arising from your business insurance coverage (please refer to the table below). This is either Public Liability OR General Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
It is mandatory to provide details and evidence of one of each of the insurance coverage specified in points 1 and 2. Failure to provide the requested information will prevent your supplier registration from progressing further and becoming a CBRE Supplier Partner or from your profile being published and compliant. This can impact you working with CBRE and our clients.
Additional CBRE mandatory insurances requirements depending on the nature of the services, goods, or work provided. CBRE may require the additional coverage (please refer to the table below).
Depending on the services or goods provided, CBRE may request additional insurance types on a case-by-case basis. Because these policies are priced according to the specific work profile, suppliers are not expected to provide final coverage values at onboarding. Instead, a letter from your insurer or evidence from a current project (not necessarily with CBRE) is sufficient to confirm that this insurance exists within your business. For additional non-mandatory insurances requirements please refer to the table below.
See table below for more information on insurance required.

Providing mandatory insurance evidence ensures your supplier profile meets CBRE's minimum compliance standards, making you eligible for use across all CBRE accounts. Even if you currently hold only one purchase order, your compliant profile is visible to all CBRE account and project managers, increasing your opportunities to be invited to quote for additional work.
Providing recommended insurances evidence helps ensure your profile aligns with requirements for all services and goods you offer. Suppliers with appropriate insurance coverage are more likely to be selected by CBRE account and project managers, increasing your potential for additional opportunities.
Yes. CBRE may request additional insurance types or higher coverage levels on a case-by-case basis, often driven by specific client requirements for site access or project risk. Any such requirements will be communicated when you are invited to quote for the work or if a client updates the insurance obligations tied to an existing Purchase Order.
When your insurance certificate or other evidence of coverage expires, you will receive an automated reminder to upload updated documentation. If you do not update it promptly, your supplier profile will be suspended, removing your approved status and preventing CBRE teams from requesting quotes or placing orders. To ensure reminders reach you, please provide a monitored, generic company email address.
This requirement is often satisfied by providing evidence of higher Umbrella or Excess Liability limits. Because per claim or occurrence values protect against erosion of a supplier's aggregate limits by unrelated losses, the simplest alternative—without purchasing a dedicated per-occurrence policy—is to meet the required amount through a combination of Primary and Excess/Umbrella coverage.

Insurance
-
Why does CBRE require suppliers to hold insurance coverage?
Insurances are essential to protect suppliers, CBRE and our clients from risks during project delivery and daily operations on CBRE and / or client sites.
Providing the required insurance certificates at onboarding stages and maintaining renewal of these ensures that all suppliers and contractors safeguard not only their own business interest but also our clients' interests, aligns with well-established standard business practices as well as legal and regulatory obligations. CBRE may on request of the client be required to evidence its supply chain compliance and being able to do so reinforces CBRE's and our supplier partners commitment to operational excellence and risk mitigation.
CBRE clients expect both CBRE and its suppliers to maintain adequate insurance coverage to protect against damages, injuries, errors, omissions, or losses that may occur during service delivery. Sufficient insurance safeguards operations from financial disruption caused by events such as natural disasters, cyber incidents, or operational failures, and supports business continuity by covering costs related to wages, liabilities, and remediation.
Ensuring supplier partners meet regulatory and best practice insurance standards strengthens overall supply chain resilience, maintains client confidence, and protects ongoing operations. Additionally, sufficient insurance helps suppliers safeguard their own financial stability and reduces the risk of insolvency.
-
What insurance policies are required during supplier onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE?
Mandatory insurance requirements for onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE are:
- Employee injury or work related illness insurance coverage. This is either statutory workers injury cover which is mandated by your government (please refer to the table below to understand what this is known by in your country) OR Employers Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
- Injury to third parties or damage to a third-party property arising from your business insurance coverage (please refer to the table below). This is either Public Liability OR General Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
It is mandatory to provide details and evidence of one of each of the insurance coverage specified in points 1 and 2. Failure to provide the requested information will prevent your supplier registration from progressing further and becoming a CBRE Supplier Partner or from your profile being published and compliant. This can impact you working with CBRE and our clients.
Additional CBRE mandatory insurances requirements depending on the nature of the services, goods, or work provided. CBRE may require the additional coverage (please refer to the table below).
Depending on the services or goods provided, CBRE may request additional insurance types on a case-by-case basis. Because these policies are priced according to the specific work profile, suppliers are not expected to provide final coverage values at onboarding. Instead, a letter from your insurer or evidence from a current project (not necessarily with CBRE) is sufficient to confirm that this insurance exists within your business. For additional non-mandatory insurances requirements please refer to the table below.
See table below for more information on insurance required.
| Insurance Coverage | Insurance Type | Mandatory? | Scenario | Indemnity |
| Employee injury or work-related illness, including any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Employer's liability insurance or any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Yes | All suppliers | €1M |

Insurance
-
Why does CBRE require suppliers to hold insurance coverage?
Insurances are essential to protect suppliers, CBRE and our clients from risks during project delivery and daily operations on CBRE and / or client sites.
Providing the required insurance certificates at onboarding stages and maintaining renewal of these ensures that all suppliers and contractors safeguard not only their own business interest but also our clients' interests, aligns with well-established standard business practices as well as legal and regulatory obligations. CBRE may on request of the client be required to evidence its supply chain compliance and being able to do so reinforces CBRE's and our supplier partners commitment to operational excellence and risk mitigation.
CBRE clients expect both CBRE and its suppliers to maintain adequate insurance coverage to protect against damages, injuries, errors, omissions, or losses that may occur during service delivery. Sufficient insurance safeguards operations from financial disruption caused by events such as natural disasters, cyber incidents, or operational failures, and supports business continuity by covering costs related to wages, liabilities, and remediation.
Ensuring supplier partners meet regulatory and best practice insurance standards strengthens overall supply chain resilience, maintains client confidence, and protects ongoing operations. Additionally, sufficient insurance helps suppliers safeguard their own financial stability and reduces the risk of insolvency.
-
What insurance policies are required during supplier onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE?
Mandatory insurance requirements for onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE are:
- Employee injury or work related illness insurance coverage. This is either statutory workers injury cover which is mandated by your government (please refer to the table below to understand what this is known by in your country) OR Employers Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
- Injury to third parties or damage to a third-party property arising from your business insurance coverage (please refer to the table below). This is either Public Liability OR General Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
It is mandatory to provide details and evidence of one of each of the insurance coverage specified in points 1 and 2. Failure to provide the requested information will prevent your supplier registration from progressing further and becoming a CBRE Supplier Partner or from your profile being published and compliant. This can impact you working with CBRE and our clients.
Additional CBRE mandatory insurances requirements depending on the nature of the services, goods, or work provided. CBRE may require the additional coverage (please refer to the table below).
Depending on the services or goods provided, CBRE may request additional insurance types on a case-by-case basis. Because these policies are priced according to the specific work profile, suppliers are not expected to provide final coverage values at onboarding. Instead, a letter from your insurer or evidence from a current project (not necessarily with CBRE) is sufficient to confirm that this insurance exists within your business. For additional non-mandatory insurances requirements please refer to the table below.
See table below for more information on insurance required.
| Insurance Coverage | Insurance Type | Mandatory? | Scenario | Indemnity |
| Employee injury or work-related illness, including any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Employer's liability insurance or any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Yes | All suppliers | €0.3M |
| Injury to third parties or damage to third-party property arising from your business operations | General liability insurance or public liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | All suppliers | €1M |
| Product related risks, including injury or damage caused by products you manufacture, distribute, or supply | Product liability insurance, complete operations liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers that manufacture or supply products | €1M |
| Injury to third parties or damage to third party property arising from your on-site activities or from products you manufacture, supply, or install | Combined public and product liability insurance, combined liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers working on-site at a manufacturing facility or environment | €1M |
| Financial loss arising from errors, omissions, negligent advice, or other professional services you provide | Professional liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance or errors and omissions insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers providing any design, consultancy, or professional services or advice | €0.3M |
| Losses arising from employee dishonesty, fraud, or other financial crimes, particularly where your employees may have access to CBRE and/or client IT systems | Commercial crime or fidelity insurance or as applicable in your country | Recommended | Suppliers whose employees have access to CBRE and/or clients IT systems | N/A |
| Loss or damage to works, materials, equipment, or third-party property arising from any project-related construction, installation, or engineering activities you undertake | Contractors all risks insurance, contractors work insurance, construction all risks insurance or as applicable in your country | Recommended | Suppliers undertaking Project-related works | N/A |
Providing mandatory insurance evidence ensures your supplier profile meets CBRE's minimum compliance standards, making you eligible for use across all CBRE accounts. Even if you currently hold only one purchase order, your compliant profile is visible to all CBRE account and project managers, increasing your opportunities to be invited to quote for additional work.
Providing recommended insurances evidence helps ensure your profile aligns with requirements for all services and goods you offer. Suppliers with appropriate insurance coverage are more likely to be selected by CBRE account and project managers, increasing your potential for additional opportunities.
Yes. CBRE may request additional insurance types or higher coverage levels on a case-by-case basis, often driven by specific client requirements for site access or project risk. Any such requirements will be communicated when you are invited to quote for the work or if a client updates the insurance obligations tied to an existing Purchase Order.
When your insurance certificate or other evidence of coverage expires, you will receive an automated reminder to upload updated documentation. If you do not update it promptly, your supplier profile will be suspended, removing your approved status and preventing CBRE teams from requesting quotes or placing orders. To ensure reminders reach you, please provide a monitored, generic company email address.
This requirement is often satisfied by providing evidence of higher Umbrella or Excess Liability limits. Because per claim or occurrence values protect against erosion of a supplier's aggregate limits by unrelated losses, the simplest alternative—without purchasing a dedicated per-occurrence policy—is to meet the required amount through a combination of Primary and Excess/Umbrella coverage.
Licenses, Permits & Certificates
Confirm you have the correct procedures, training, tools and equipment, as well as licenses, permits and certificates to perform the services you have selected under the Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) tab, including any high-risk activities you have identified.

Depending on the services or goods provided, CBRE may request additional insurance types on a case-by-case basis.

For additional non-mandatory insurances requirements please refer to the table below.

Insurance
-
Why does CBRE require suppliers to hold insurance coverage?
Insurances are essential to protect suppliers, CBRE and our clients from risks during project delivery and daily operations on CBRE and / or client sites.
Providing the required insurance certificates at onboarding stages and maintaining renewal of these ensures that all suppliers and contractors safeguard not only their own business interest but also our clients' interests, aligns with well-established standard business practices as well as legal and regulatory obligations. CBRE may on request of the client be required to evidence its supply chain compliance and being able to do so reinforces CBRE's and our supplier partners commitment to operational excellence and risk mitigation.
CBRE clients expect both CBRE and its suppliers to maintain adequate insurance coverage to protect against damages, injuries, errors, omissions, or losses that may occur during service delivery. Sufficient insurance safeguards operations from financial disruption caused by events such as natural disasters, cyber incidents, or operational failures, and supports business continuity by covering costs related to wages, liabilities, and remediation.
Ensuring supplier partners meet regulatory and best-practice insurance standards strengthens overall supply chain resilience, maintains client confidence, and protects ongoing operations. Additionally, sufficient insurance helps suppliers safeguard their own financial stability and reduces the risk of insolvency.
-
What insurance policies are required during supplier onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE?
Mandatory insurance requirements for onboarding and throughout the course of working with CBRE are:
- Employee injury or work-related illness insurance coverage. This is either statutory workers injury cover which is mandated by your government (please refer to the table below to understand what this is known by in your country) OR Employers Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
- Injury to third parties or damage to a third-party property arising from your business insurance coverage (please refer to the table below). This is either Public Liability OR General Liability insurance. Please note you need only provide details and evidence of one of these two listed insurances.
It is mandatory to provide details and evidence of one of each of the insurance coverage specified in points 1 and 2. Failure to provide the requested information will prevent your supplier registration from progressing further and becoming a CBRE Supplier Partner or from your profile being published and compliant. This can impact you working with CBRE and our clients.
Additional CBRE mandatory insurances requirements depending on the nature of the services, goods, or work provided. CBRE may require the additional coverage (please refer to the table below).
Depending on the services or goods provided, CBRE may request additional insurance types on a case-by-case basis. Because these policies are priced according to the specific work profile, suppliers are not expected to provide final coverage values at onboarding. Instead, a letter from your insurer or evidence from a current project (not necessarily with CBRE) is sufficient to confirm that this insurance exists within your business. For additional non-mandatory insurances requirements please refer to the table below.
See table below for more information on insurance required.
| Insurance Coverage | Insurance Type | Mandatory? | Scenario | Indemnity |
| Employee injury or work-related illness, including any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Employer's liability insurance or any statutory workers' injury or compensation schemes mandated by your local government | Yes | All suppliers | UK - £5-10M |
| Injury to third parties or damage to third-party property arising from your business operations | General liability insurance or public liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | All suppliers | UK - £5M |
| Product related risks, including injury or damage caused by products you manufacture, distribute, or supply | Product liability insurance, complete operations liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers that manufacture or supply products | UK - £5M |
| Injury to third parties or damage to third party property arising from your on-site activities or from products you manufacture, supply, or install | Combined public and product liability insurance, combined liability insurance, commercial general liability insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers working on-site at a manufacturing facility or environment | UK - £10M |
| Financial loss arising from errors, omissions, negligent advice, or other professional services you provide | Professional liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance or errors and omissions insurance or as applicable in your country | Yes | Suppliers providing any design, consultancy, or professional services or advice | UK - £5M |
| Losses arising from employee dishonesty, fraud, or other financial crimes, particularly where your employees may have access to CBRE and/or client IT systems | Commercial crime or fidelity insurance or as applicable in your country | Recommended | Suppliers whose employees have access to CBRE and/or clients IT systems | N/A |
| Loss or damage to works, materials, equipment, or third-party property arising from any project-related construction, installation, or engineering activities you undertake | Contractors all risks insurance, contractors work insurance, construction all risks insurance or as applicable in your country | Recommended | Suppliers undertaking Project-related works | N/A |
Providing mandatory insurance evidence ensures your supplier profile meets CBRE's minimum compliance standards, making you eligible for use across all CBRE accounts. Even if you currently hold only one purchase order, your compliant profile is visible to all CBRE account and project managers, increasing your opportunities to be invited to quote for additional work.
Providing recommended insurances evidence helps ensure your profile aligns with requirements for all services and goods you offer. Suppliers with appropriate insurance coverage are more likely to be selected by CBRE account and project managers, increasing your potential for additional opportunities.
Yes. CBRE may request additional insurance types or higher coverage levels on a case-by-case basis, often driven by specific client requirements for site access or project risk. Any such requirements will be communicated when you are invited to quote for the work or if a client updates the insurance obligations tied to an existing Purchase Order.
When your insurance certificate or other evidence of coverage expires, you will receive an automated reminder to upload updated documentation. If you do not update it promptly, your supplier profile will be suspended, removing your approved status and preventing CBRE teams from requesting quotes or placing orders. To ensure reminders reach you, please provide a monitored, generic company email address.
This requirement is often satisfied by providing evidence of higher Umbrella or Excess Liability limits. Because per claim or occurrence values protect against erosion of a supplier's aggregate limits by unrelated losses, the simplest alternative—without purchasing a dedicated per-occurrence policy—is to meet the required amount through a combination of Primary and Excess/Umbrella coverage.
