What is being bought

De Montfort University (DMU) is seeking to appointment a Travel Management Company (TMC) to provide staff travel and accommodation booking services (both online and offline). The Contract will be for a period of three years, with a further two possible one-year extensions, up to a maximum 5-year contract duration. Any contract extension will be dependent on satisfactory supplier performance, continued business need and availability of funding and will in any case be awarded at the University's sole discretion. The Contract is being offered under the Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium (SUPC) framework PFB4053 "Travel Management Services", specifically Lot 1 (Business Travel Services) of the framework, and we are inviting all framework suppliers on the Lot to take part in the Further Competition for this opportunity.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 63. The category anchor is Travel management services (63516000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
