Description
The University of Edinburgh is awarding a comprehensive Travel Management Services contract to cover all Business and Student Group Travel. Many of our students and staff travel as part of their studies, research, or to develop important connections across the UK and internationally. We are committed to supporting our community to do so as safely and efficiently as possible. At the same time, we remain steadfast in achieving our ambitious sustainability goals, which include reducing carbon emissions related to travel. As transport costs increase worldwide, this service will support our work to safeguard our community, reduce University expenditure, and provide high-quality data for carbon and travel reporting. The University has included buffers within the value to account solely for potential increases in travel volumes or rising costs to mitigate future contract modifications. The anticipated contract value is not a commitment or a guaranteed level of spend. Potential fluctuations in travel demand, internal policy changes and external factors may result in lower spending.
