## Summary

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured secondary business travel management services for its university. The requirement is to arrange and manage business travel, under the Business Travel lot of the SUPC Travel Management Services Framework. The service is for the university’s business travel needs in Egham, in the South East of England. This is a travel management service rather than the purchase of travel-related goods or construction work. The procurement description identifies it as a secondary contract through an existing framework, linking the requirement to suppliers appointed to that framework’s business travel lot.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Clarity Travel Limited. The award was made on 21 August 2026, following a submission deadline of 21 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The awarded value is £400,000. This is a secondary contract under the SUPC Travel Management Services Framework, Business Travel lot. The procurement record gives no further description of the procedure or of the criteria used to evaluate and select the supplier, so the basis for the award cannot be stated beyond the identified framework lot and selected supplier.

This award demonstrates that Royal Holloway and Bedford New College buys managed business travel services through the SUPC Travel Management Services Framework’s Business Travel lot. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to be capable of managing business travel for a university, and of participating through the relevant framework route. Clarity Travel Limited, a large supplier, was selected, indicating that the buyer awarded this requirement to an established travel management provider. The procurement does not set out specific service capabilities, accreditations, staffing levels or experience thresholds, so these cannot be treated as stated qualification requirements. The commercial relevance is strongest for travel management businesses able to deliver university business travel services within this framework arrangement.
