Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue bought access to a travel and accommodation booking platform to help staff book rail travel and accommodation. The requirement is for a booking-system service rather than the direct provision of transport or hotel stays. The work is for the fire and rescue service in Sheffield, with delivery associated with South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue’s operations. The procurement combines travel management with hotel accommodation booking. It is aimed at providers able to supply an online booking platform and support staff in arranging these travel needs.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited. The award was made on 23 September 2026, for £60,000. The contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 30 September 2027. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender response deadline was 22 September 2026 at 12:00. The service was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available procurement information does not state evaluation weightings or separate lots. The award is active; no subsequent contract signature or completion is recorded here.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue for a managed booking platform covering staff rail journeys and accommodation, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a platform that enables staff to book both types of travel, together with the service support needed to facilitate those bookings. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a provider of this scale can serve the requirement. Businesses specialising only in transport operations or hotel supply, without a travel-booking platform and associated management capability, are less closely aligned with the demonstrated need. Familiarity with delivering public-sector bookings through a framework route would also be relevant to this buyer’s procurement approach.
