Lots and requirements (8)Procurement structure

8 lots · all with a published value · evaluation weights differ by lot

Every one of these 8 lots carries the same published figure, £36,250,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

Lot #3(Venue Find and Supporting Services for Meetings, Conferences and Events)Renewal 3 yrsceiling above

Lot 3 (Venue Find and Supporting Services for Meetings, Conferences and Events) retains the standalone MCE route that operated under RM6342 but widens and modernises its scope. The lot covers the full event lifecycle on a residential or non-residential basis and applies a Government Estate First tiering model that exhausts free and discounted public-sector space before commercial venues. Scope now includes standalone Group Accommodation, defined as nine or more travellers or delegates whether or not connected to an event, with mandated offline parity and inventory access, and a strengthened technology requirement covering virtual, digital, and hybrid delivery and structured quotation and cost-management.

Contract period: 15 Apr 2027 – 14 Apr 2030 (3 yrs) · up to 13 Apr 2033 with extensions
Extensions: The Framework Contract will be established for 36 months with one possible further extensions of 12 months

Lot #4(Accommodation and Venues for Civilian Programmes)Renewal 3 yrsceiling above

Lot 4 (Accommodation and Venues for Civilian Programmes) consolidates crisis response, civilian programmes, and duty-of-care accommodation, removing the contested overlap between RM6342 Lots 1 and 4. The specification supports Booked and Managed Service models. The scope now explicitly includes residential accommodation as well as "non-standard" accommodation such as repurposed venues and sites to support civilian programmes, along with essential ancillary services such as welfare and security services required for these cohorts. Housing will be included as a mandatory service. Civilian cohorts may include those impacted by an endemic or pandemic, early release patients, prison leavers, people seeking refuge (for example victims of domestic abuse), refugees, people at risk of destitution, people experiencing homelessness, victims of a Crisis event or mass evacuation, and more.

Contract period: 15 Apr 2027 – 14 Apr 2030 (3 yrs) · up to 13 Apr 2033 with extensions
Extensions: The Framework Contract will be established for 36 months with one possible further extensions of 12 months

Lot #5(Air Charter and Lease)Renewal 3 yrsceiling above

Lot 5 (Air Charter and Lease) moves Air Charter and Lease out of bundled TMC delivery and into a dedicated specialist route, giving customers a faster, more transparent route during evacuation or crisis events. This would also open up further opportunities for SMEs within the RM6408 agreement. This Lot includes Air Charters, Wet Lease, Damp Lease and Dry Lease for Ministers, staff and civilians, and may be used for both Crisis response and Business as Usual.

Contract period: 15 Apr 2027 – 14 Apr 2030 (3 yrs) · up to 13 Apr 2033 with extensions
Extensions: The Framework Contract will be established for 36 months with one possible further extensions of 12 months

Who is likely to bid for this lot ↓

Lot #6(Passenger Transport)Renewal 3 yrsceiling above

Lot 6 (Passenger Transport) responds to evidence that the previous bundled approach failed to deliver value for money for high-volume users such as Health and Infrastructure. RM6408 establishes a stand-alone lot covering ad-hoc and pre-booked taxis, coaches, rail replacement services, and taxis for hospital patients under non-emergency patient transport, directly accessible to customers. Private ambulance provision sits outside the core scope and is available only as an optional service where a Buyer requires it . Following extensive consultation with stakeholders, and to ensure the integrity of the customer journey, it was decided that passenger transport aggregators provided the most resilient solution to maintain end-to-end journey and service reliability.

Contract period: 15 Apr 2027 – 14 Apr 2030 (3 yrs) · up to 13 Apr 2033 with extensions
Extensions: The Framework Contract will be established for 36 months with one possible further extensions of 12 months

Lot #7(Online Travel Agent Services for Self-Serve Travel)Renewal 3 yrsceiling above

Lot 7 (Online Travel Agent Services for Self-Serve Travel). In line with Business Plan objectives and ambitions, and in response to Customer feedback and requirements, the introduction of a self-serve digital solution allows customers to have a simpler, faster and compliant route to market when responding to emergency and simple travel requirements, without having to wait for manual quotes or navigate cumbersome offline approval processes. Anything that requires full civilian accommodation support services will be routed through Lot 4.

Contract period: 15 Apr 2027 – 14 Apr 2030 (3 yrs) · up to 13 Apr 2033 with extensions
Extensions: The Framework Contract will be established for 36 months with one possible further extensions of 12 months

Who is likely to bid for this lot ↓

Lot #8(Defence and Other Specialist Travel Services )Renewal 3 yrsceiling above

Lot 8 - (Defence and Other Specialist Travel Services) provides a dedicated route to market for MoD specialist requirements, with potential extension to FCDO. MoD, and likewise FCDO, have a specialist scope that carries materially different supplier capability, security, and operational requirements from civilian government business travel; customer engagement has proven that housing it within Lot 1 would distort evaluation, suppress mainstream TMC appetite, and constrain MoD's ability to access fit-for-purpose specialist providers. The lot allows specification, evaluation criteria, and call-off routing to be tuned to specialist demand, while preserving the competitive tension across Lots 1–7.

Contract period: 15 Apr 2027 – 14 Apr 2030 (3 yrs) · up to 13 Apr 2033 with extensions
Extensions: The Framework Contract will be established for 36 months with one possible further extensions of 12 months

What it takes to win

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
  • “Global Travel, Accommodation and Venue Management Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.

Question for the bid
This buyerGovernment Commercial Agency · all its clients
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

How often small and medium firms win.

Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 1 of 7 known-size awards · market: CPV 6017 · UK-wide, n=39
14%46%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

How often local firms win similar work.

Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.

Here, local means the winner is registered in the region where that contract was delivered.

A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 0 of 8 known-location awards · market: CPV 6017 · UK-wide, n=71
0%85%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered outside North West England.

How long to a decision?
i

How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.

Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.

Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 22 decided notices · market: CPV 6017 · UK-wide, n=12
138 days45 days

Half of these awards were announced within 138 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.

Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.

Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: exactly 1 of 5 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: CPV 6017 · UK-wide, n=10
20%10%

Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

How many bids did past lots attract?

i

How many bids past lots received.

Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?

i

Where winning prices landed against estimates.

Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.

On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.

Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.

Last 36 months.

Not comparable on a framework or DPS. The notice sets up a supplier panel and a ceiling value; what the work actually costs is agreed later, on each call-off or mini-competition, and those publish as contract notices of their own. The award-vs-estimate record of this market therefore sits on the call-offs; this page shows it on the contracts, not on the panel that frames them.

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
