## Summary

The Department for Business & Trade procured hotel accommodation for an India visit: a one-night block booking at The Taj Mahal Palace and Taj Mahal Tower in Mumbai. This is a hotel services requirement, covering accommodation in India. The booking was intended to support the department’s visit and was structured as a single lot. The award records hotel services delivered in India, while naming Shangri-La Eros New Delhi as the selected supplier. The requirement centres on arranging a block of rooms at the two specified Mumbai hotels, rather than a wider travel-management or hospitality service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Department for Business & Trade used a direct award below the threshold without competition; the contract was signed on 18 September 2026. The single lot was awarded to Shangri-La Eros New Delhi. The contract value is £17,117.58 excluding VAT (£20,541.09 including VAT). The contract period ran from 13 to 14 October 2026, covering the one-night booking. The award is for hotel services and the procurement records no evaluation criteria beyond the direct-award route. The contract details were published on 15 October 2026.

For future requirements of this kind, a credible supplier would need to arrange block accommodation at named hotels in Mumbai and reliably support official business travel. The selected supplier was a large hotel operator, suggesting that established accommodation capacity and the ability to coordinate rooms at the specified properties are relevant strengths. Suppliers with access to suitable Mumbai hotel inventory, a track record serving institutional or corporate travel, and the operational ability to manage a short, concentrated booking would be well placed when this buyer has a comparable requirement. The procurement was handled as a below-threshold direct award without competition, so it also shows the route used for this particular small, specific hotel booking rather than a competitive hotel-services exercise.
