Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process concerns the Essex County Council's initiative to establish a "Travel Management Services Framework." This framework aims to facilitate the booking and payment for various travel arrangements, including UK and international rail, air travel, hotel accommodations, and venue hires, all while adhering to the Council's travel policies. The procurement is currently in the active tender stage, following an open procedure that started with the publication of the tender on 27th April 2018. The deadline for tender submissions was set for 14th November 2017, and the contract period runs from 19th March 2018 to 18th March 2022, focusing on the services category within the East of England region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in travel management services, particularly those capable of providing an integrated online booking system that meets specific accreditation requirements, such as ATOC, ABTA, IATA, and ATOL. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is open to them. Companies with expertise in travel logistics, accommodation provisioning, and venue management would be particularly well-suited to compete for this framework, thereby enhancing their visibility and participation in public sector contracts, which can lead to substantial business growth.
