Short description of the contract or purchase(s): London Universities Purchasing Consortium (LUPC), a company limited by guarantee reg. no. 04784719, is a not-for-profit company owned by its Members, for its Members. Its primary purpose is to maximise value from the collaborative procurement of goods and services for over 60 Members, made up of universities and colleges, as well as government agencies, research organisations and museums and other cultural establishments. A full list of current Members may be found at: . In inviting expressions of interest to tender for the provision of travel services, LUPC is acting as a lead organisation on behalf of its Member Institutions. All agreements resulting from this tender should be made available to and apply to all current and future members of LUPC, including associate members. Any other consortium or institution that wishes to participate in this framework agreement will only do so at the discretion of the LUPC. Providers’ attention is drawn to the fact that participating institutions may be subject to change in the future owing to strategic realignment of the Consortium or the inclusion of new full or associate Members, who could be outside the education sector, but within the public sector. Our aim is to establish a highly competitive travel services framework agreement for Member Institutions, taking advantage of our geographic concentration in and around London. The principle behind the agreement(s) is that they shall not themselves constitute contracts, but will establish a structure by which orders may be placed by participating institutions, each forming a separate contract under the terms and conditions set out in the framework agreement(s).
