## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department of Health and Social Care (T&T), who is managing a tender entitled "Variation Extension 09", focusing on administration services. This contract, valued at £424,188,176, was initiated as part of HM Government's response to ease travel restrictions post-COVID-19 lockdown. The tender period concluded on 31st May 2021, with the contract commencing on 1st June and scheduled to end on 30th November 2021. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, allowing for streamlined engagement with suppliers.

This tender represents substantial growth opportunities for large service providers in the administration sector, particularly those with experience in government contracts. As the contract has been awarded to Serco Limited, businesses that focus on large-scale service delivery, particularly in health and travel administration, may find opportunities to collaborate or position themselves competitively in future tenders, especially as governmental needs evolve in response to ongoing public health challenges.

## Notice

As part of HM Government's roadmap out of lockdown, with vaccination rollout progressing successfully, further restrictions were lifted 17/05/21 parts of which facilitate increased inbound and outbound international travel to and from the United Kingdom. In addition to the easing of restrictions which allow for international travel there is also evidence of a 3rd wave beginning which is primarily being driven by prevalence of the Delta variant within the younger/un-vaccinated population.
