Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria, located in Newcastle, awarded a contract for "Travel Management Services" as part of a public procurement process that employed a limited procurement method. This process, concluded on 28 May 2026, did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, as it was a direct award through the ESPO Framework 1104-23. The contract, valued at £880,000, was signed on 19 March 2026 with Perk UK Ltd, a Birmingham-based supplier. This service contract, within the industry category of travel management services, primarily covers business travel solutions for booking accommodation and travel for Northumbria Police staff. While one lot included in the tender was cancelled, the award for the active contract stems from this specific procurement exercise.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in travel management services, particularly those equipped to handle large-scale and potentially complex travel logistics for public sector clients such as police services. Although the award has been made to a single supplier, Perk UK Ltd, businesses with substantial experience in providing efficient travel solutions could find similar future opportunities within the public sector rewarding. Companies that can offer innovative, cost-effective, and comprehensive travel solutions will be well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially those familiar with frameworks like ESPO and adept at responding to direct award situations.
