Provision of Travel services

Description

The European Central Bank (ECB) is seeking suitable candidates through this Call for Applications (CfA) that will be invited to participate in the negotiated procedure and to submit a tender for the Contract on the provision of Travel Services. It is the intention of the ECB to award a contract to one provider. The Contract is envisaged to start on 1 August 2026 and shall remain in force for a period of 4 years. Since a (potential) implementation and handover period from the current service provider to the new contractor is foreseen, the actual service provision is envisaged to start on 15th December 2026. The ECB may request an extension of the Contract, but the total duration of the Contract shall not exceed 5 years. The main language of service delivery will be English. The contract duration is set on exceptional basis to 5 years. This exception is based on the current implementation of the SAP Concur travel system for ECB business travel. It can be envisaged that the integration of a new travel agency into SAP Concur will require the set-up of all relevant technical configurations and respective testing. As a result, an extended transition phase is to be planned which is reflected in the extended contract duration.
