Sources: 8. Developments: 2. The Spanish Confederation of Travel Agencies (CEAV), under the leadership of President José Manuel Lastra, announced plans to increase oversight regarding public travel agency tenders. This initiative was prompted by legal challenges against the CORA contract, a centralized tender for state travel services. CEAV, alongside associations such as GEBTA and UNAV, filed appeals contesting tender specifications, specifically regarding contract lot configurations and valuation criteria for air travel discounts. Following these appeals, the Central Administrative Tribunal of Contractual Appeals (TACRC) issued a precautionary measure to suspend the state travel service tender, which is valued at approximately 605 million euros. The Gebta association alleged that the tender documents contained “serious economic infractions,” claiming the terms required agencies to guarantee fixed prices despite market fluctuations, potentially violating the Public Sector Contracts Law. As the suspension remains in effect, existing service providers are expected to continue managing travel for ministries and other state administration bodies through an extraordinary extension until a final resolution is reached. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-21: Spanish state travel tender suspended following agency appeals Spain's state travel tender, worth 605 million euros, has been suspended by a tribunal following appeals from travel agency associations regarding unfair pricing and contract terms. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/spanish-state-travel-tender-suspended-following-agency-appeals ### 2026-09-11: CEAV to increase oversight of public travel agency tenders The Spanish Confederation of Travel Agencies (CEAV) will increase monitoring of public tenders following legal challenges against the CORA state travel contract. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ceav-to-increase-oversight-of-public-travel-agency-tenders --- Cite as: Spanish public travel agency tender dispute.
