protection purchasing/procurement
Explanation:
It's the function (buying protection) that is being centralised, not the protection. And stick with "protection", which is more general and includes things that are not insurance (e.g. default swaps).

purchase of cover


Explanation:
Just as vague ... As I say, protection is what insurers do (like the mafia really). Except that "cover" is a nicer word for it.

No more context available?
