Public Sector Global Travel and Venue Solutions

Book domestic and international travel, as well as meeting venues in the UK and overseas.

Description

This framework provides travel management solutions for the public sector and is divided into two parts:

Solution A – covers domestic and international travel including air, rail, accommodation and meeting venues booked from the UK and overseas points of sale (the time and country where travel is booked and paid for). 

Solution B – covers domestic and international travel, including air, rail, accommodation and meeting venues booked from the UK only. 

This framework provides similar services to RM6217 Travel and Venue Solutions, however, this framework also includes a service for finding and booking meeting venues and a simpler and more agile security approach. This framework will partly run in parallel with RM6016 Public Sector Travel and Venue Solutions, which means that you have the option to buy services in both agreements if you need to. 

The framework contract is valid for three years with the option of an additional 1-year extension.

Benefits

Solution A offers:

  • a global travel management supplier for the public sector that provides local services in all geographic regions – customers with travellers based overseas will have access to a single supplier that provides complex travel services locally
  • global contract management and access to consolidated management information to help customers improve their travel program and meet their duty of care 

Solution B offers:

  • a comprehensive business travel booking service that also allows you to find and book meeting venues 
  • an online booking portal using CCS’s Digital Travel Solution (DigiTS)
  • access to commercial benefits of up to 13% through Public Sector Negotiated Programmes
