Normally the requirement for such professional services engagement is
10-20 million PI/PL insurance.

Any service provider/contractor will be providing PI/PL insurance for
replacing Exchange.

These service providers get PI/PL insurance from insurance companies.
The insurance costs are normally 1-5% of the sum insured or revenue

company start charging premium equivalent to the sum insured then they
will go out of business.
