Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office bought staff business travel and accommodation services, covering travel agency and booking support. The requirement serves staff travelling for official business, with delivery across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement is for services rather than travel goods or infrastructure, and concerns arrangements for both transport and accommodation. This is a broad geographic requirement for an organisation whose staff travel domestically and internationally. The awarded supplier is Clarity Travel Ltd.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Clarity Travel Ltd on 3 September 2026. The award value is £125 million. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 26 August 2028. The Home Office used a selective process, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 12 noon. This was a single service requirement, with no lots identified. The award is active. The opportunity was marked unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published evaluation criteria are not stated in the procurement details.

For travel management companies, this award demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for coordinated staff business travel and accommodation across domestic and worldwide destinations. A credible competitor for a similar Home Office requirement would need the operational capacity to arrange travel and lodging across the UK, Europe and more distant international locations, and to support the needs of staff travelling on official business. The scale and geographic reach point to a supplier capable of managing a wide-ranging travel service for a major government department. The buyer used a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through the applicable framework route. The procurement was designated unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that the requirement was aimed at larger-scale providers rather than those categories.
