This contract relates to the public procurement process initiated by Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, located in Egham, United Kingdom. The tender titled "STA-26003 Millport Field Trips" falls within the accommodation services industry category and targets the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract awarded on 16th January 2026, following an initial tender period ending on the same day.

The total contract value is £177,000.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the accommodation services sector, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive field trip facilities including accommodation and educational spaces.
