Hello,
I am about to start a contract job in the UK as a project planner, but the company have requested me to provide a professional indemnity insurance to cover the cost of any possible future claims against me due to my mistakes / omissions.
Is this the general practice in the UK? Do usually companies require such insurance for contract planners?
I would appreciate your comments.
Thank you.

Oldest first- 0Brian Fletcher ·Yes generally most of the agencies I have worked through request this. It is fairly hard to track down companies that specifically cover Planners or Planning Engineers. I used a company called Insurance2day for my PI and my employers & public Liability Insurance and they seem ok.
You will need to call them rather than get a standard policy to explain exactly what you are doing. If you are mainly office based rather than out on site doing work I would mention this as soon as you mention construction sites to Insurance they see £ signs!!
