This initiative has a substantial value of £90 million and is set to address upcoming requirements as current framework agreements for travel services are due to expire on 31 August 2019. Stakeholders are invited to contribute to the procurement strategy through a Request for Information, which is open until 10 September 2018. The procurement process is governed by applicable regulations and is classified under the general public services category. This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs and third sector organisations looking to expand their engagement with the public sector. Given the nature of the services being sought, companies specialising in travel management, logistics, or related services would be particularly well-positioned to participate. Interested businesses can leverage this opportunity to influence the procurement strategy, potentially enhancing their chances of securing a contract that meets the needs of the Scottish Government and its related public sector bodies. ## Notice Provision of Travel Management Services to the Scottish Public Sector. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Scottish Procurement and Commercial Directorate (SPCD) is the organisation tasked with procuring requirements on behalf of Scottish Public Sector Bodies.
