Business travel tender
A business travel tender is a good way of selecting the company with the best commercial proposal to carry out a public contract. This phase precedes the signing of a contract between the successful bidder and the organization requesting a specific service. Here's a look back at a phenomenon that is gaining ground in the business travel sector.
The role of business travel tenders
Business travel invitations to tender have become commonplace in the transport, tourism and, above all, business travel sectors. This formal procedure is envisaged as much for SMEs as for agents of public bodies, central or decentralized departments of ministries in the European Union zone. For people traveling alone or in groups, it involves preparing reservations, providing air and rail tickets, car rentals and accommodation, among other things. Performing these tasks is far from easy, as they require experience and a well-stocked address book. Travel agencies are subject to this type of procedure in order to win business, as it affects the sales of companies or the economy of a country.
The role of a travel manager
Travel Managers are involved in setting up a company's business travel program. They analyze the needs of employees and business people, and establish partnerships with suppliers on behalf of customers. They work on a daily basis to help you make savings on your company's business travel. In the event of a trip cancellation, they can assist you with all or part of the claims procedure to obtain reimbursement of travel expenses from the airlines.
An efficient travel manager must be able to react quickly to air traffic disruptions, and provide travelers with the comfort and security they need to conduct their appointments in peace. Every trip, whether for business or pleasure, involves risks: accidents, the risk of contracting a contagious disease, etc. Only a failed business trip has serious consequences for a company's sales, the coffers of public entities, and even a country's GDP. The expected return on investment for each business trip is not guaranteed when the trip goes wrong due to incidents or when it is insufficiently prepared.
