About Transport Support Services Procurement

Transport support services procurement covers the auxiliary and logistical services that enable efficient transportation operations for public bodies. Under CPV division 63, this category includes cargo handling and warehousing, freight forwarding, customs brokerage, travel agency and tour operator services for official travel, parking management, port and airport support services, vehicle storage, and transport-related consulting.

Public authorities procure transport support services for a variety of purposes, from managing government employee travel programmes and diplomatic logistics to operating port facilities, airport ground handling, and freight distribution networks. Institutions and agencies are among the largest procurers of travel management services, managing thousands of official trips annually.

Service providers in this sector should be prepared to offer modern digital booking platforms, competitive pricing structures, comprehensive reporting and cost control capabilities, and compliance with public sector travel policies. For logistics and warehousing services, demonstrating secure facilities, inventory management systems, and customs expertise for cross-border operations is essential. Sustainability credentials, including carbon offset programmes and preference for low-emission transport modes, are increasingly valued in public procurement evaluations.
