Procurement Information

Oxford Brookes University required the direct award of a corporate travel contract to Corporate Travel Management (CTM) to ensure operational continuity, strict regulatory compliance, and uncompromised risk management. By utilizing a pre-tendered public procurement framework, the university fulfills its legal obligations under public contracts regulations for transparency and value for money while bypassing a lengthy, resource-intensive tender process. This direct award prevents major administrative friction and technical disruption, allowing the university to maintain seamless integration with its existing financial systems, approval workflows, and booking platforms. Crucially, it eliminates any gaps in the university's strict duty of care obligations to staff and students; CTM provides immediate, uninterrupted access to essential live traveler tracking, emergency communication channels, and FCDO risk alerts. Furthermore, maintaining CTM's services ensures continuous data visibility, which is vital for enforcing corporate budget limits, monitoring consolidated travel spend, and tracking carbon emissions to meet the university's active sustainability targets.
