Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured travel booking and travel management services for the UK European Applicant Transfer Scheme (EATS). The requirement covers arranging travel for applicants transferred under the scheme, with activity delivered in the UK. It is a services contract for booking travel, rather than the provision of transport vehicles or infrastructure. The procurement is classified as travel services (CPV 63515000), with travel management services as an additional classification (CPV 63516000). The requirement was organised as one lot, covering booking travel services for the UK European Applicant Transfer Scheme. Businesses specialising in corporate travel booking, managed travel programmes or public-sector travel operations would be the closest fit.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage: Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited was selected for the EATS requirement, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 11 June 2026. It runs from 12 June 2026 to 29 November 2026 and has a value of £2,341,342.44. The process is titled “Contract variation”, and the contract includes an extension for booking travel services by the original contractor. The award relates to the single lot covering travel booking for EATS. The source records a tender-based process, but do not set out a procurement method, award criteria or separate award date.

This procurement demonstrates substantial Home Office demand for managed travel booking connected with applicant transfer operations. A credible future competitor would need to arrange travel reliably at scale, manage changing passenger requirements and coordinate bookings across a UK-wide service. Relevant capability includes corporate travel booking, travel management, supplier and itinerary coordination, and the operational systems needed to support a government scheme. The selected supplier is a large business, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by an organisation with significant delivery capacity. Firms seeking comparable work should be able to evidence dependable travel operations, experience handling high-volume or complex bookings, and the ability to provide consistent service to a central government buyer.
