Global Travel, Accommodation and Venue Management Services

A framework providing comprehensive booking solutions for all UK Public Sector Travel needs, including air, rail, taxis, coaches, car hire, accommodation and venues for meetings, conferences and events, as well as emergency travel and accommodation solutions, including for civilian cohorts under the care of a UK Public Sector organisation. Customers using the framework for civilian accommodation solutions can also access supporting services such as welfare and security provision.

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.
