Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To extend the existing Business Travel contract with TravelPerk UK IRL Ltd (formerly known as Click Travel Ltd) for a period of twelve months from 22 February 2024 to 21 February 2025. This twelve-month extension is permitted under the current contract.



Reasons for the decision:

It is considered a proportionate approach to extend the contract as there is an available extension permitted under the contract which is being utilised and the Council is satisfied with the current performance of the Supplier. The contract continues to offer best value when compared to alternative options.

Alternative options considered:

The alternative option to undertake a new procurement exercise was rejected as there is an available extension under the current contract and the Council is satisfied with the current performance of the Supplier. A new procurement exercise would incur additional resources and have an impact upon timescales.
