Requirements vary by tender. Depending on the opportunity, a bidder may need one or more of the following — not every tender requires every item.

These are common areas, not universal evaluation criteria. The tender defines what is actually scored.

Some TMC tenders may require or evaluate self-booking, traveller profiles, approval workflows, policy controls, reporting, dashboards and integrations. Do not imply every contract requires this — the actual tender determines the technical requirement.

Some travel contracts may require after-hours booking, emergency assistance, itinerary changes, and cancellation or rebooking support. This affects staffing, systems, commercial pricing and SLA design. Do not claim 24/7 support is universally mandatory — confirm against the tender.

International travel may add complexity around international flights, international accommodation, currency exposure, itinerary changes, traveller assistance and visa-support administration where included in scope. This is general guidance, not immigration or legal advice.

Some clients require TMCs to enforce an approved travel policy, fare-class limits, hotel limits, approval workflows, preferred suppliers and traveller profiles. Do not invent one government-wide policy — use the tender-specific wording.

Pricing models may include transaction fees, booking fees, after-hours fees, amendment or reissue fees, cancellation handling, account management, system or platform costs, dedicated personnel and reporting. Do not invent market-standard transaction fees.

Some TMC contracts charge or evaluate service fees against specific travel transactions — for example flight booking, accommodation booking, car-rental booking, and changes or reissues. There is no universal fee structure; the client's pricing schedule governs.

Possible requirements may involve booking turnaround, response times, after-hours response, escalation, reporting and issue resolution. SLAs can affect both staffing and pricing.

Not all reports are universal — the tender specifies what is required.

Tenders may ask for evidence of similar TMC contracts, corporate or government travel, transaction volumes, domestic or international capability, and account-management experience. Potential evidence includes appointment letters, contracts, references and client confirmations. Do not invent one minimum project count or value.

Larger TMC contracts may require a transition plan covering account-team setup, traveller profiles, system configuration, approval workflows, reporting, communication, training and transfer from an existing provider. Implementation has real cost and operational implications.

The commercial model varies. Do not imply the TMC always funds travel purchases itself.
