Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority procured a corporate travel service for its personnel. The requirement is for a travel booking portal covering a full range of business travel and accommodation bookings. The service includes an integrated online booking platform, dedicated offline support for complex or urgent arrangements, embedded travel policy controls, and detailed management information reporting for oversight and compliance. This is a business travel service, classified under CPV 79997000. The buying organisation is based at Fire Service Headquarters in Birmingham, and the awarded service covers delivery in the United Kingdom. Suppliers relevant to this requirement provide corporate travel booking, accommodation arrangements, traveller support, policy enforcement and reporting through a managed service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a competitive selective procedure under a framework agreement. One lot was awarded to PERK UK LIMITED. The award was made on 23 July 2026 for £403,600 excluding VAT, or £484,320 including VAT. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with options to extend for two further one-year periods, allowing a maximum end date of 31 July 2030. The contract is active and above the relevant threshold. The published outcome identifies the framework-based route and competition as the basis of the procurement process.

This outcome indicates demand for a managed corporate travel service combining self-service digital booking with human assistance for complex or urgent journeys. Suppliers competing for similar work with this buyer would need a reliable travel booking portal, access to broad travel and accommodation inventory, and operational support capable of handling exceptions outside normal online workflows. They would also need to embed an organisation’s travel policy into booking controls and produce detailed management information for compliance monitoring and management oversight. The requirement is suited to established corporate travel providers with the technology, service capacity and reporting capability to support a public-sector workforce across the United Kingdom. Experience delivering integrated online and offline travel management would strengthen credibility.
