Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire procured a business travel booking service, covering travel and accommodation bookings for the organisation. The solution is provided through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6342 framework, Lot 2. Delivery is associated with Constabulary Headquarters in Winsford, Cheshire. The volume of bookings, and therefore the amount of travel and accommodation arranged, depends on the organisation’s needs.

The procurement was a direct award through a framework and is complete. Clarity Travel Ltd was selected, with an award value of £600,000. The award date was 10 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 10 October 2026 to 9 October 2028. The tender deadline was 30 September 2026. The stated value is an estimate because actual spend depends on the organisation’s travel and accommodation bookings.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, this award demonstrates demand for an organisation-wide business travel booking solution covering travel and accommodation. A credible competitor would need to provide a booking service capable of responding to variable demand and delivering through the relevant framework route. The award went to a travel supplier, showing that a provider able to manage the organisation’s booking needs was selected. The requirement is for business travel services, rather than general accommodation or travel provision in isolation.
