Description
VisitBritain's (VB) Commercial Partnerships Team has the responsibility for creating commercial partnerships between VB and third party suppliers (or partners) for mutual benefit. In these commercial partnerships, the association of both brands generates a specific financial, or other advantage, which is applied for the benefit of both parties.
In some cases, VB will match on a 50% : 50% basis the funding provided by the third party supplier (partner) to enhance the scope of the commercial arrangement, which results in added value benefits for all. The Commercial Partnerships Team has used a Dynamic Partner Register (DPR) to manage and award agreements to third party suppliers (partners).
VB are now seeking to replace the DPR established in 2015 with a new Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Commercial Partnerships & Related Services. VB intends to set up the DPS for a period of 24 months, with any Call Off Agreement awarded under the DPS not exceeding beyond 24 months of the DPS closing date.

⢠Lot 1 - Carriers (Airlines, Ferries, Trains, Roads) ⢠Lot 2 - Intermediaries (Online Travel Agencies, Metasearch, Tour Operators & Wholesalers ⢠Lot 3 - Accommodation ⢠Lot 4 - Product (attractions, experiences, airports) ⢠Lot 5 - Brands ⢠Lot 6 - Inbound Operators and/or Destination Management Companies (DMCs)
Lot 6 Services are considered to be 'Related Services' for Commercial Partnerships. Accordingly, these services are not subject to 50% : 50% match funding requirements.
Suppliers are invited to complete an online Selection Questionnaire (SQ) Submission to join one, all or any of the Lot(s) they are interested in being appointed to. Suppliers are free to join the DPS at any time up to the DPS closing date of 23:59 on 10 September 2025.
