## Summary

The Family Fund, based in York, is seeking a travel agent for their procurement process titled "Provision of Family Breaks." This initiative falls under the travel management services industry category and is set in the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 29 September 2017. The awarded contract, valued at £35 million, will span from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2022, focusing on providing services that cater specifically to families with disabled and seriously ill children.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in travel services and management, particularly those experienced in catering to the needs of disabled travellers. Companies that can provide tailored holiday packages and ensure the necessary adaptations for comfortable travel would be well-suited to compete. This contract not only offers a substantial financial value but also aligns with social responsibility, making it an appealing prospect for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focused on inclusive travel solutions.

## 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.
