Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office procured corporate travel management services to replace an existing arrangement. The requirement covers online and offline travel booking services for UK government business travel, delivered across the United Kingdom. It is a services contract within the travel management sector, covering the practical handling of travel bookings through both digital and offline channels. Suppliers in this market would need to support the Cabinet Office’s organisational travel needs and provide a service suitable for a public sector customer operating nationally. The requirement is identified under CPV 63516000, Travel management services. The procurement was intended to support continuity by replacing the existing travel booking contract rather than introducing an unrelated service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Clarity Travel Services Limited was awarded the contract on 21 August 2026 for £15,000,000. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 17:00. The award covers the replacement corporate travel agency requirement as a single stated lot, with online and offline travel booking services for the United Kingdom. The Cabinet Office was the buyer. The procurement identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The successful supplier’s award was active when recorded.

This award shows that the Cabinet Office purchases corporate travel management at substantial national scale through a framework call-off route. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer would need a mature travel agency operation able to manage both online and offline bookings, support business travel users consistently across the United Kingdom, and replace or transition an existing service without disrupting customers. Credibility would come from demonstrable capacity, reliable booking processes, responsive servicing, and the ability to operate within public sector framework arrangements. The requirement’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that organisations of those types can be relevant where they can evidence the operational capability needed for a large government travel account.
