Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for "Travel Management Services" intended for the Scottish Public Sector. This initiative has a substantial value of £90 million and is set to address upcoming requirements as current framework agreements for travel services are due to expire on 31 August 2019. Stakeholders are invited to contribute to the procurement strategy through a Request for Information, which is open until 10 September 2018. The procurement process is governed by applicable regulations and is classified under the general public services category.

Interested businesses can leverage this opportunity to influence the procurement strategy, potentially enhancing their chances of securing a contract that meets the needs of the Scottish Government and its related public sector bodies.
