## Summary

The procurement process for "Travel Management Services" has been completed by the University of Bedfordshire, a body governed by public law located in Luton, United Kingdom. This contract, classified under the CPV code 63516000, falls under the services category within the education sector. The procurement used a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the procurement falling outside the scope of the directive. The tender resulted in a direct award to Diversity Travel Ltd for Lot 3 under the SUPC Framework for the Provision of Travel Management Services, valued at £315,000 and signed on 12 February 2025. The main criteria for the award were based on quality (60%) and price (40%).

This contract offers an opportunity for businesses specialising in travel management services, especially those that can ensure high-quality service and competitive pricing. Companies similar to Diversity Travel Ltd, which operates as an SME and holds the necessary capabilities for managing and operating travel processes, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. It emphasises the potential for growth in the travel services sector, particularly for those involved in health and safety management for work-related travel. Given the nature of the procurement process, businesses should be ready for direct awards without prior competition calls, offering an advantage to firms already positioned on established frameworks.
