Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) recently completed a procurement process for a contract titled "CMA Travel Online and Offline Bookings" under the industry category of travel management services. Headquartered at The Cabot, 25 Cabot Square, London, E14 4QZ, the CMA sought to provide a service for their staff to book travel and hotels. The procurement method used was selective, facilitated as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender, identified as PROC-008-2025, concluded with active award status on 8th March 2025, subsequent to the tender period closing on 6th March 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £10,500, spans from 8th March 2025 to 7th March 2027, with Clarity Travel Ltd, an SME based in Manchester, serving as the supplier.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises specialising in travel management services. By participating in such selective procurement processes, businesses can enhance their portfolio and increase their market presence within the public sector. Companies with the capability to integrate both online and offline booking services would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders, especially those that have experience working within the parameters of framework agreements.
