Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives procured corporate travel management services for UK and overseas business travel. The requirement covers a booking platform and management of all booked business travel, including associated support for land, water and air transport (CPV 63516000). The service is for The National Archives, based in Richmond, England, with delivery linked to its Richmond location. The procurement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The operational requirement is therefore centred on managing business travel bookings through a platform, supporting travellers and coordinating the transport arrangements needed for domestic and international journeys on behalf of a public sector organisation.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 13 July 2026 to Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited, for £900,000 including the stated contract value in GBP. The contract period runs from 18 July 2026 to 17 July 2028. The tender had a submission deadline of 13 July 2026 at 17:00. Evaluation resulted in one active award to the named supplier. The requirement was assessed as a travel management services contract, with additional transport support services included. The buyer is The National Archives, and the tender status is complete, meaning the competitive process has concluded.

This award demonstrates demand from The National Archives for an integrated corporate travel service rather than isolated ticket bookings. A credible future competitor would need a reliable booking platform, the operational capacity to manage UK and overseas business travel, and the ability to support journeys involving land, water and air transport. Strong performance would depend on responsive travel management, consistent handling of bookings and changes, and clear coordination for travellers and the organisation. Smaller travel management businesses may be relevant because the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, while experience delivering a joined-up public sector travel service would help demonstrate the capability and resilience expected when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
