Notice Information

Notice Title

CEFAS22-58 RFQ Global Travel Risk Mitigation Services

Notice Description

Due to ongoing participation in overseas activities, and the increase in travel to distant and remote locations, Cefas is seeking to ensure that we continue to provide appropriate provision of Duty of Care obligations to our employees and accompanying travellers (comprising a small amount of non- Cefas staff) to ensure their continued safety, health and wellbeing, as well as providing support in the event of an international emergency or incident. Consequently, we are seeking the services of a leading organisation in the field of international travel risk mitigation solutions, to work with Cefas in the preparation and execution of its overseas activities. This will include remotely supporting the security of our colleagues whilst they are in country, as well as arranging and managing any health requirements, which will include repatriation to the UK if necessary. The costs associated with health care, emergency response activities and repatriation will be met by Cefas, but the successful tenderer will be expected to provide the necessary advice, logistical support and communications to facilitate the necessary activities to keep our colleagues informed and updated of any requirements for the country they are visiting and ensure that their safety and health is supported during their trip. Cefas are self-insured, so the successful tenderer will be required to liaise with Cefas to propose and manage funding solutions for any incidents that might occur or services that might be required.
