The procurement is classified under CPV codes related to travel services and is currently at the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 29 September 2017. The total contract value ranges from £5 million to £10 million, and the contract is expected to commence on 1 January 2018 and run until 31 December 2021. Interested parties should note that the procurement method is open, allowing a wide array of suppliers to participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the travel industry, particularly those specialising in the management of travel for families with specific needs. Companies equipped to offer adaptive travel services, including the booking of specialised accommodations, are highly suited to bid for this contract. Furthermore, businesses that can provide robust management information systems and meet the compliance requirements regarding grant protection will be strategic contenders in this competitive bidding process. ## Notice Family Fund is looking for a travel agent to supply a wide range of UK and oversees holidays to families caring for disabled and seriously ill children living in the UK, who have received a family break grant. Bookings should be accepted online and over the telephone, in store is preferable but not essential and staff should be aware of the difficulties that families face when travelling with a disabled child/children. The ability to book adapted rooms, with appropriate equipment is key, where required by the family. Protection of grant funding is essential, so our preference is for any gift card/voucher scheme to be paid on redemption. Once the holiday is booked, the funds must be ABTA/ATOL protected. A full audit trail must be available, along with relevant management information and the ability to ensure that the disabled child is included on the booking. Electronic order files and invoicing are required, in line with Family Fund's standard file formats. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84aa81db-0246-440f-834e-e8376fe6a723 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Aug 2017 | | Submission deadline | 29 Sep 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2018 - 31 Dec 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FAMILY FUND | | Locality | YORK | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO32 9WN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE21 York | | Local authority | York | | Electoral ward | Huntington & New Earswick | | Westminster constituency | York Outer | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 63500000 - Travel agency, tour operator and tourist assistance services - 63515000 - Travel services - 63516000 - Travel management services ## Release History - 15 Aug 2017 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84aa81db-0246-440f-834e-e8376fe6a723 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84aa81db-0246-440f-834e-e8376fe6a723 15th August 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG146210 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.familyfund.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
