43% of UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

The University requires a Travel Management Company (TMC) that is able to facilitate the travel booking needs for a large and diverse range of stakeholders, including but not limited to Air Travel, Rail Travel and Accommodation Booking, for Domestic and International travel requirements.

The University requires a TMC with the provision to provide these services both online through a booking platform and smartphone based app, and offline through a UK based call-centre type model.

The University has used the services of a TMC since October 2017.

As the current TMC contract is ending in October 2025, the University is now seeking to re-contract for this service for up to a further 7 years.
