Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Travel Management Services has reached the award stage, with the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs selecting Selective Travel Management to fulfil their requirements. The tender aims to provide UK and international travel and accommodation booking services, including ancillary supports such as traveller tracking and duty of care. With a contract value of £3,000,000, this service will cater to AHDB's business travel needs from 1st March 2026 until 28th February 2028, with options to extend up to a further 24 months. The contract was awarded on 5th December 2025, and the process followed a selective procurement method by calling off from a framework agreement.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in global travel management and accommodation services. Companies that specialise in comprehensive travel solutions, particularly those aligning with government standards and offering consolidated invoicing and management information services, would find this contract advantageous. While the procurement method is selective, the competitive landscape favours established players with the capability to provide extensive traveller support and detailed reporting functionalities. Despite the focus on larger organisations, the opportunity for additional options to extend the contract further suggests continued possibilities for businesses to expand their service offerings and footprint in public sector travel management.
