UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics, a central government public authority, is planning a procurement process titled "Corporate Travel." This initiative falls under the services category, specifically travel management services (CPV code 63516000). The location for this procurement is Newport, UK, where the authority is based. Currently, the process is in the planning stage, with key future notices expected by 1st October 2025. The planned contract period spans from 25th April 2026 to 24th April 2030. The procurement involves the anticipated use of an existing framework, potentially the CCS Travel and Venue Solutions Framework.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses within the travel management sector to establish or expand their presence in the public sector. Given the high value of the contract, estimated at up to £6,000,000, businesses equipped to deliver comprehensive booking solutions for both UK and overseas travel could find this a lucrative opportunity. Companies with expertise in working within framework agreements, especially familiar with high-touch booking solutions, would be well-positioned to compete. This procurement invites prospective bidders to align with government efficiency goals while offering growth potential through public sector engagement.
