## Summary

The Public Service Ombudsman procured travel agency and related travel services for its operations, including travel and accommodation arrangements. The requirement is categorised as travel services (CPV 63510000). Delivery is in England. The buyer is based in Manchester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Corporate Travel Management (North) Limited. The award date was 21 August 2026. The awarded value is £211,000. The contract period runs from 22 August 2026 to 21 August 2027. The buyer used an open procedure. The estimated procurement value was also £211,000, and bids were due by 18 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For travel management businesses, this award provides a clear example of demand from the Public Service Ombudsman for travel and accommodation services delivered in England. A credible competitor would need to arrange business travel and accommodation for a public-sector organisation and demonstrate the operational capacity to handle its requirements reliably. The successful supplier was a large travel management company, indicating that established travel-service capability was accepted for this contract; the procurement was also marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller providers may be relevant where they can meet the buyer’s service needs. Experience coordinating bookings and supporting travellers would be relevant to this requirement. The opportunity is specific to travel and accommodation provision for this buyer, rather than broader accommodation or transport work.
