## Summary

The National Citizen Service (NCS) is seeking an Accommodation Booking Partner through an open tender process for its Re-commissioning Programme. This contract will provide hotel accommodation services primarily in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West regions of the United Kingdom. The tender period is set to conclude on 28 May 2019, with the contract starting on 10 June 2019 and running until 31 December 2025. The total estimated value of the contract is £200 million, reinforcing the importance of securing the right partner ahead of the Summer 2020 programme delivery.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in hotel accommodation services and related areas. Companies that can manage large scale bookings and provide additional services while complying with the NCS’s standards would be ideal candidates. Given the projected booking spend of £110 million to £200 million, as well as the estimated management fees of £100,000 to £1.35 million per annum, there is a lucrative potential for growth for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering the required services across multiple locations.
