Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sheffield has completed a tender process for the "Provision of Managed Travel Services," with a contract value of approximately £10 million. This procurement falls under the category of travel agency and tour operator services and was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set to commence on 1 January 2021 and will last until 31 December 2021. The tender period concluded on 17 March 2020, indicating a pre-Covid-19 context for travel operations.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the travel services sector, particularly for those small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in managed travel solutions. Given the university's extensive annual travel requirements and the appointment of a dedicated travel management company, suppliers that can offer flexible, innovative travel solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the higher education sector will be well-positioned to compete effectively.
