Lot Information
Lot 1
To provide travel management services for complex overseas bookings from 21/02/2025 to 28/02/2026, provisioning time for a structured and robust procurement exercise early 2026.
Procurement Information
Framework suppliers have been unable to effectively meet service requirements in respect of multi traveller, global trips with complex itineraries, which has led to fragmented ad-hoc travel bookings. This direct award represents establishing a more assured short-term service provision with clearer terms, provisioning effective time (recognising complexities of specified requirements, contract terms, and evaluation criteria) to undertake a competitive procurement for longer term contract requirements
