UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council procured travel management services for the business travel and accommodation needs of its elected Members and officers. The requirement covers travel agency and related services, including arranging and managing journeys and accommodation for council business. It was called off from the NEPO507 Travel Management Services Framework, so the relevant market is suppliers able to provide public-sector travel management through that framework. The buying organisation is South Tyneside Borough Council, based at Town Hall and Civic Offices on Westoe Road, South Shields. This is a services requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, centred on coordinating official travel and accommodation for the council’s workforce and Members.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct call-off from the NEPO507 framework, using a below-threshold procedure without competition. PERK UK LIMITED was awarded the contract on 29 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 29 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030, with an option to extend by two periods of 12 months, to a maximum end date of 31 July 2032. Its value is £522,000 excluding VAT, or £626,400 including VAT. The award covers one lot and the contract is active. The selected supplier is PERK UK LIMITED, a Birmingham-based travel management company.

This award demonstrates established demand from South Tyneside Borough Council for managed business travel and accommodation services for Members and officers. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer would need a reliable travel agency operation able to arrange journeys and accommodation, manage bookings for public-sector travellers and support the practical needs of a council workforce. Experience delivering comparable business travel services would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where service quality, responsiveness and accurate administration matter across multiple travellers and bookings. Access to the relevant NEPO framework is also commercially important, because this requirement was awarded through a framework call-off without a further competition. The opportunity suits an established travel management provider with sufficient operational capacity.
