The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) has completed a procurement process for the provision of travel management services under the title "Travel Management Services." This process falls within the services industry category and was carried out in London. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the contract signed on 28th March 2025. The procurement method employed was a direct award to a single supplier through the CCS travel, transport, accommodation, and venue solutions framework (RM6342), which involved awarding the contract without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £1,600,000, has been awarded to Clarity Travel Limited, a large company based in Manchester.
