Selective Travel Management has been awarded a multi-million pound Framework Agreement on a sole supplier basis to supply travel services to the Northern Ireland Public Sector. The clients include the Northern Ireland Civil Service Departments and Agencies, Health & Social Care, NI Colleges and the Education Authority.
The Framework Agreement, will see the Belfast-based company provide travel services for Government employees and representatives.
A dedicated team at Selective Travel Management will provide a booking and management service ensuring value for money for the Public Sector.
The Framework Agreement, which was awarded as a result of a Public Tender process is a significant business gain for Selective Travel Management and will result in the addition of new specialist posts during the implementation phases, taking its current work force to over 115.
Commenting on the win, Keith Graham Managing Director of Selective Travel Management said: “We are naturally delighted to have won such an important and prestigious contract, particularly given the level of competition and attention which the Tender process attracted.
“Selective Travel Management has steadily and swiftly grown from strong local roots to become one of the leading Travel Management Companies in the UK & Ireland marketplace and this latest win cements our reputation and professional standing still further.
“The company has a strong sense of direction, and a firm focus on businesses and organisations with complex travel requirements. We pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive understanding of their current and future travel requirements and on addressing their needs with outstanding skills and expertise, backed up by appropriate resources which include the latest tried-and tested technology. This ethos helped us in recent years to open a relatively new niche marketplace with contracts secured with multiple UK Universities. This was rapidly followed with our appointment, and subsequent re-appointment, to a Higher Education Framework Agreement which serves the University travel marketplace and which has an estimated travel budget of up to £100 million.
Clearly, the experience gained in this sector gave us experience and expertise directly relevant and beneficial to the NI Public Sector.
“At Selective Travel Management we believe our core strength lies in the calibre and commitment of our staff: attributes which we continue to enhance with bespoke training and ongoing investment, as recently demonstrated by our attainment of the Investors In People accreditation. We firmly believe that, here in Belfast, we are fielding a team that are ‘at the top of their game’. This latest win reinforces that position and its testimony to skills of the local talent pool.”
