## Summary

The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult is seeking to establish a Business Travel Management Services Framework Agreement valued at approximately £10 million, aimed at supporting various associated organisations within the Catapult Network, including the Active Building Centre and the Vaccines Manufacturing & Innovations Centre (VMIC). This procurement is currently in the Award stage, following a competitive tender process that employed the Restricted procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract period is set to commence on 1 November 2021 and will run until 31 October 2025. Interested parties were required to submit their bids by 19 July 2021.

This opportunity may create significant growth prospects for businesses specialising in travel management services, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that meet the specified criteria.

Additionally, as services may be co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, this could enhance the attractiveness of bids from capable providers.
