## Summary

Sunderland City Council procured travel management services for its operations. The requirement covers the provision of travel management services, including the arrangement and administration of travel for the council. This is a public-sector service contract, classified under CPV 63516000. Delivery is for Sunderland City Council in the United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement was handled as a single service lot. The selected provider is PERK UK Limited, a large Birmingham-based travel management company. Businesses active in corporate travel, public-sector travel administration, booking support and related travel coordination would find the subject matter relevant. The requirement is focused on managed travel services rather than travel infrastructure, construction, goods supply or general consultancy.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Sunderland City Council used a selective procedure, with the award made under a framework and without a competitive call-off. One supplier was selected: PERK UK LIMITED. The award was dated 1 August 2026 and has a value of £2,310,000 excluding VAT, or £2,772,000 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 July 2030, with two 12-month extensions available and a maximum end date of 31 July 2032. A standstill period ends on 9 September 2026. The award is pending, with contract signature scheduled for 10 September 2026. Evaluation details beyond the procurement route are not stated.

This award confirms sustained demand from Sunderland City Council for a managed travel service delivered through a framework route. A credible future competitor would need an established corporate travel operation able to take responsibility for the council’s travel requirements over a multi-year service period. Relevant capability would include organising and administering business travel, supporting travellers and council staff, and providing dependable service at public-sector scale. Suppliers should be comfortable competing through framework-based purchasing rather than relying only on an open standalone tender. The successful supplier’s profile also indicates that the buyer selected an established, large-scale travel management business. Smaller specialists may therefore need to demonstrate sufficient operational capacity, resilience and experience managing comparable organisational travel services.
