The tentative contract award period will conclude on 28 August 2026, with the contract slated to begin on 13 October 2026. The procurement employs a selective approach with a competitive flexible procedure, initiated in accordance with the legal framework of the UK Procurement Act 2023.

Companies equipped to deliver analytics, risk management, and direct engagement in the form of dedicated account management will stand in good stead. The procurement process includes thorough evaluation stages to ensure the selection of three suppliers, offering room for tight competition and the potential for substantial contracts and growth. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, especially those willing to integrate with existing platforms such as SAP Concur and Workday. Further engagement will align with NESO's strategic move towards employing public sector frameworks, providing multiple avenues for tender submission and showcasing business capacities. ## Notice NESO is seeking a single supplier to provide a range of travel services under one solution - Travel Management System (TMS).
