## Summary

The procurement process for the "Public Sector Travel and Venue Solution" was initiated by the Crown Commercial Service, acting on behalf of the Central Government and wider public sector. Initially planned to establish a commercial agreement to facilitate public sector travel services, the tender (RM3829) has since been discontinued due to developments in the Crown Commercial Services Digitalised Travel Solution. The procurement was classified under CPV code 63515000 for travel services. While the tender was initially set to conclude on 2nd October 2017, it will now be followed by a new procurement process expected to be published in Q3 of 2017/2018.

This tender discontinuation presents new opportunities for businesses in the travel services industry, particularly those capable of adapting to changes in digital travel solutions. Companies specialised in travel management, venue sourcing, and related service provisions may find opportunities to engage in the forthcoming tender, which will require new submissions in accordance with forthcoming guidelines. With the new tender aimed at improving the customer experience for booking travel, businesses that can demonstrate effective digital solutions and customer-oriented service are well-positioned to compete.
