Public Sector Global Travel and Venue Solutions
Scope
This agreement offers travel management services for the public sector which will include:
- lot 1 (solution A) – will cover domestic and international travel (including air, rail and accommodation) and venue find (meeting space) booked from UK and overseas points of sale*
- lot 2 (solution B) – will cover domestic and international travel and venue find booked from UK point of sale only
*The point of sale is the time and country where a travel transaction is booked and paid for. For example a ticket to fly from Paris to New York could be booked from a French point of sale and invoiced in EUR (euros) or from a UK point of sale and invoiced in GBP (pounds sterling). The terms and conditions associated with these two examples could potentially be different.

The agreement will use the new Public Sector Contract (PSC).
When setting up a new framework we will use:
- the standard core terms
- relevant schedules (some schedules must be used, others are optional).
As part of the pre-tender engagement we are inviting suppliers to provide feedback on the core terms to help us draft the final framework.
If you want to send us your feedback please email travelprocurement@crowncommercial.gov.uk by Friday 27 September 2019.
