Summary of the contracting process

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is seeking to extend an existing call-off contract titled "Rail Travel Extension" with Trainline. This procurement falls under the business travel services category and is classified as a contract extension. The contract extension is anticipated to last up to 12 months, starting from February 26, 2022, and will conclude on February 26, 2023. The procurement process was initiated on January 21, 2022, with an important deadline for contract decisions already passed on September 1, 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), looking to engage in public sector contracts, especially within the travel services industry. Those companies that offer innovative travel solutions or have experience in managing corporate travel logistics would be well-positioned to bid, particularly as the agreement transitions into the new Crown Commercial Service Travel framework. Suppliers that can demonstrate reliability and flexibility in extending services will have an advantage in this competitive market.
