Hotel Tenders and Contracts

Hotel tenders cover staff business travel accommodation, usually bought through a wider travel management framework alongside flights and rail; standalone hotel and conference venue panels for events; emergency or temporary accommodation contracts placed directly with hotels, including some overseas placements for UK government missions; and council-led hotel development schemes appointing a developer, investor or operator to build and run a new hotel on council-owned land.

Stotles brings together hotel tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Hotel bookings are often called off from the Crown Commercial Service travel, transport, accommodation and venue solutions framework, and overseas hotel panels are let country by country.

Hotels used for temporary accommodation must meet housing and fire safety standards, and booking services must handle traveller data in line with UK data protection law. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

The British Council signs multi-hotel frameworks country by country, and travel booking is often called off from the CCS travel, transport, accommodation and venue solutions framework. Councils, universities, police forces and NHS trusts also buy hotel accommodation.

Read travel management contract expiry dates, temporary accommodation strategies, conference programmes and regeneration plans for council land, which show hotel work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

The main codes observed are 55100000 (Hotel services), 55110000 (Hotel accommodation services) and 55120000 (Hotel meeting and conference services).
