## Summary

The procurement process for the Robin Hood Travel Scheme has been executed by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) in Bristol, with the East Midlands Combined County Authority as the supplier. Classified under the travel services industry, this contract was awarded on 3rd March 2026 and will remain active until 31st December 2027. Using a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, the contract was awarded under legal basis 2023/54, ensuring compliance with UK regulations. This phase is complete, marking the successful execution of the contract, presented with comprehensive legal and financial documentation.

This procurement process offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large scale enterprises that can deliver efficient travel services. Although the Robin Hood travel scheme does not generally offer discounts to employers, it facilitates a 'travel to work' programme where employers purchase season passes for employees. This arrangement enables participating organisations to expand their service reach and integrate cost-effective solutions into corporate remuneration packages. Enterprises with capabilities in managing large-scale service delivery and financial arrangements will find favourable avenues in such projects, creating sustained relationships with government authorities.

## Notice

The Robin Hood travel scheme does not generally offer any discounts to employers, but do operate a 'travel to work' scheme where employers can purchase 12 month season passes which employees then pay back through salary deductions. DVSA pays for the pass upfront.
