This contract aims to sustain a comprehensive framework supporting global travel risk mitigation solutions, executed through a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below threshold. The contract spans from 1st August 2023 to 31st July 2026, with past awards published as recently as 24th July 2025. Cefas collaborates with International SOS Assistance (UK) Ltd, serving as the supplier. The scope encompasses multiple global locations, including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and the UK. The renewal of this contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in travel risk management and those with capabilities in delivering comprehensive risk mitigation frameworks. Businesses with expertise in developing country-specific information packages and mobile applications would find this tender particularly suited to their services. Cefas's preference for suppliers like SMEs enlarges the spectrum of potential contractors, including those equipped with specialised local knowledge from regions such as the FCDO. This contract showcases opportunities for firms keen to expand their footprint in providing tailored travel safety solutions through established networks and technology-driven innovations. ## Notice Contract renewal to provide Cefas with continued services for a robust framework of services to support our global travel risk mitigation solutions. As part of our core specification, the Contractor will: 1. Work with our chosen Travel Management Company (TMC) to obtain details of all planned travel and travellers. Use this information to tailor a comprehensive pre-travel, country-specific information pack providing details of relevance to the destination, and any en-route stopovers, including general travel advice, cultural/religious awareness and identification of main hazards and risks, including those of a medical and security nature. Risk mitigation measures will be identified, for example indicating the recommended vaccinations as well as highlighting necessary measures to address security threats, with the aim of managing associated travel risks. We would expect the successful Tenderer to draw from their own central team of experts, using local knowledge via in-country personnel as well as from established providers (e.g. FCDO) to build an information package. 2. Provide a downloadable App that is suitable for iOS. This App will provide access to all of the services offered but will have a simple front page that holds the critical information and contact methods for our travellers, providing unlimited support for pre-travel briefings and advice by phone and regular updates to the App and portal, with country-specific information and risk identification. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ff05025-8a17-4c98-b3b5-6ccc8c256185 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Jun 2023 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2023 - 31 Jul 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £231,178 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CEFAS | | Locality | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | INTERNATIONAL SOS ASSISTANCE (UK) LTD (CEFAS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 63515000 - Travel services ## Release History - 24 Jul 2025 at 11:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ff05025-8a17-4c98-b3b5-6ccc8c256185 - 17 Jul 2024 at 08:19 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09d9a2ce-7a86-4033-bad8-b9636b22c723 - 18 Jul 2023 at 10:56 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4611dabd-5be4-430c-9b4e-36b2ac800b02 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ff05025-8a17-4c98-b3b5-6ccc8c256185 24th July 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09d9a2ce-7a86-4033-bad8-b9636b22c723 17th July 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4611dabd-5be4-430c-9b4e-36b2ac800b02 18th July 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8b15b00c-da62-41c3-8363-6402c9ef802d CEFAS22-58 Cefas_Short_Form_Contract 2021_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bb7ec512-82b6-4e16-b802-4ddf50052f11 CEFAS22-58 Cefas_Short_Form_Contract 2021_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c8afde4f-b6a7-4101-a536-25b690b5f9b7 CEFAS22-58 Cefas_Short_Form_Contract 2021_Redacted ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
