PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland, awarded travel management services for Public Health Scotland and the wider public services environment. The requirement covers travel services, including the management and administration of official travel arrangements. It is a services procurement delivered in Scotland, with the purchasing organisation based in Edinburgh. The requirement was structured as a single lot covering travel services and was procured under the Government Procurement Agreement. The classification used is CPV 63510000, covering travel agency and similar services. The selected provider is Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited, based in Bradford. The buyer’s procurement function is associated with public health and health-sector organisations.

This procurement has been completed and the travel services contract was awarded to Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited. The award was made on 10 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract value is £550,000. It covers one lot for travel services and the contract is active. The procurement used an open procedure, meaning suppliers were invited to compete through an open tender route. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and it was from a non-EU overseas bidder; no SME bid was recorded. The available outcome data identifies the successful supplier but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or weighted evaluation criteria.

This award shows sustained public-sector demand for a managed travel service from an Edinburgh-based health organisation operating across Scotland. A credible future competitor would need to deliver end-to-end travel management rather than isolated travel bookings, with the operational capacity to handle official travel for public-sector users and maintain reliable service at the scale represented by this contract. Suppliers should be able to compete through formal open procurement and submit bids electronically. The incumbent is a large travel-management company, so competing businesses would need comparable organisational capacity, established travel-sector expertise and the ability to support a public body’s governance and service requirements. The single-bid outcome also indicates that suppliers with a clear, complete tender response could be commercially relevant when this requirement returns to market.
