Description

Due to the nature of the work WFD carries out, more than 50% of our staff and consultants travel on a regular basis both locally in and to the UK and overseas to a diverse range of countries. Our travel needs are often short-notice or subject to last-minute changes due to the changing needs of travellers. For the logistical arrangements of these business trips, WFD needs the services of a provider that can facilitate both an individual's travel arrangements, complex group trips, and VIP travel. The successful bidder will provide the following services: visas; air travel; rail travel (UK, Europe, and international); ground transportation (e.g. transfers); event venue/meeting space finding and booking; and hotel bookings with no guaranteed minimum annual expenditure on travel and accommodation. This will need to be reflected in a flexible cost and billing structure.
