UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent procured travel arrangements for cadets travelling to the USA. The requirement covers travel agency, tour operator and tourist assistance services, including organising and supporting the trip rather than supplying goods or construction works. The contracting authority is based at Police Headquarters in Llantarnam and the associated delivery locations are in Gwent and Powys. The procurement relates to one completed requirement for the cadet trip. It is therefore relevant to travel management companies, tour operators and travel service providers able to arrange international travel and provide coordinated assistance for a group of cadets travelling from Wales to the United States.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. HAYS TRAVEL LIMITED was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026. The contract is active from 27 October 2026 to 5 November 2026. Its value is £32,027 gross, including any applicable taxes. The contract is for travel for cadets and covers travel agency, tour operator and tourist assistance services. The award is recorded as active and the contract is recorded as active. The published process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The available outcome information identifies one supplier and one awarded lot.

This award provides a clear example of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent buying organised international travel and associated tourist assistance for a cadet group. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would be established travel agencies or tour operators with the operational capacity to coordinate group travel to the USA, manage the practical arrangements for a defined trip, and provide reliable assistance to travellers. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate capability in international travel planning, tour coordination and customer support, with sufficient scale to handle a public-sector group booking. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating that capacity for delivery at this scale was relevant to the outcome.
