Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured travel management services for employees through an external booking platform. The platform covers venue and room hire, hotel and other accommodation, bus tickets, train tickets, flights and taxi bookings for staff. The requirement supports the Trust’s travel, transport, accommodation and venue needs under the GCA Travel, Transport, Accommodation and Venue Solutions framework. The work is associated with the Trust’s base at Portland House, Richmond Road, Worthing, and delivery is identified in Worthing and across England. This is a services requirement, focused on managing and booking a broad range of business travel and related facilities through one employee-facing solution.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust selected Selective Travel Management on 8 July 2026. The awarded value is £2,875,000, and the contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031. The opportunity was let as a selective procedure and was a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 3 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The award covers the complete travel booking requirement rather than separate published lots. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with the selected supplier responsible for providing the external booking solution and associated travel management services.

This award shows sustained NHS demand for an integrated business travel management service covering accommodation, venues, rail, air, bus and staff taxi bookings. A credible competitor for similar work would need a reliable employee-facing booking platform, operational capability across several travel modes, and the supplier relationships and fulfilment processes needed to arrange bookings consistently. Experience handling public-sector or healthcare travel would help demonstrate understanding of staff travel requirements, governance and service continuity. Suppliers would also need to operate effectively through framework call-offs and manage a broad requirement for one organisation rather than offering only a single travel product. The breadth of services and multi-year scale favour established travel management businesses with sufficient delivery capacity, although specialist partners may support individual booking areas.
