Summary of the contracting process

Resilience Multi-Academy Trust procured residential outdoor education camps for its Year 7 pupils, combining education and training with recreational activities. The requirement was for a school-group camp programme, with student numbers amended during the competition from 960 to 810. Delivery was planned across England; the award lists locations in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is an academy trust based in Featherstone. This is a specialist education and outdoor activity service, rather than a general travel contract: suppliers need to arrange and deliver residential camps for secondary school pupils.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Travel Class Limited. The award was made on 9 October 2026 for £144,990 excluding VAT (£173,988 including VAT). The awarded contract period runs from 31 August to 1 October 2027; signature was scheduled by 22 October 2026. The original planned contract period was 5 October 2026 to 5 October 2027. The trust used an open, below-threshold competition, with one lot. Bids were due by 17:00 on 18 September 2026 after a one-week extension. Five bids were received. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%; the amended specification made accommodation and catering 35%, similar-programme experience 30%, and safeguarding and safety a pass/fail requirement. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were eligible to compete.

For suppliers considering similar work for Resilience Multi-Academy Trust, this award shows demand for a substantial residential outdoor education programme for Year 7 pupils, delivered across a broad range of English regions. A credible competitor would need to organise and run pupil camps, provide suitable accommodation and catering, and demonstrate experience delivering comparable programmes. Safeguarding and safety were essential pass/fail requirements, so providers would need robust arrangements that can meet the trust’s standards. The award also indicates that quality carried more weight than price in the evaluation, while price remained a material part of the decision. The trust’s specification was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the competition attracted five bids, including four from SMEs.
