Summary of the contracting process

Manchester City Council has completed a procurement process for travel services under a call-off agreement via YPO's 1104 Travel Management Solutions Framework. The procurement aimed to provide an online-booking tool addressing the travel requirements of the Council's officers and members, including air, rail, and hotel arrangements. The procurement, classified under the service category of travel management services, was managed through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a competition call. The completed tender was conducted within the regional setting of UKD33, encompassing Manchester, and was settled by direct award. The award was signed on 5th May 2026, with the contract valued at £600,000.
