Travel Management Services - 874

Booking Tool TMS
The framework has been designed for public sector customers with a full end to end travel service. Therefore the framework only has one lot and all appointed providers are Travel Management Companies (TMCs).

TMCs provide cost-effective solutions when booking and organising business travel. They have leading tools enabiling customers to manage and fulfil duty of care requirements.

Lot 1 - The provision of an online booking tool and an offline booking service for all business travel requirements and additional support services.

Customers can enter in to a call off agreement with an approved provider following a direct ward or a further competition. YPO's recommendation is to use Direct Award wherever possible, due to the extensive assessment of the suppliers at the evaluation stage.

To select the right TMC, customers can request demonstrations of the online booking tools to check the service provision before making a decision, recordings of the TMC's online booking tools are available on request.
