The title of the tender is "US_22167 - Request for Information", aimed at developing a new Sustainable Business Travel Policy aligned with sustainability commitments, including achieving net zero carbon by 2035. The University is looking for a solution to simplify the travel approval and booking process through a "One-Stop Shop" approach, enabling analytical oversight. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with a future notice date of September 30, 2023, and the delivery region specified as the UK. This upcoming tender from the University of Sussex presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in travel services to offer innovative products that align with sustainable travel policies. Companies with expertise in providing analytical and oversight solutions for business travel are well-suited to compete in this tender. The anticipated renewal period for the contract, at the Request for Information (RFI) stage, is 12 months. Interested businesses can engage with the University through their designated contact Kelly Feldman for further details and to explore collaboration opportunities in the transport services sector. ## Notice We are currently developing a new Sustainable Business Travel Policy for the University of Sussex, which will reflect our Sustainability Strategy commitments, particularly our commitment to achieve net zero carbon by 2035. We have anecdotal evidence, that the easier we can make the approval/booking process and systems, the greater the chance of users engaging with and using them correctly. We believe offering a "One-Stop Shop" will do this, making things as simple as possible for users, and at the same time enabling us to use analytical data to provide oversight and maintain effective governance of the travel we undertake. We are interested to discover if there are already products in existence that could help us achieve this. As part of our research, we have spoken to several different Universities who, although they don't operate something like this already, have a high level of interest in such a product, and we believe there is a wider need for this type of solution within the sector. ### Lot Information Lot 1 We are currently developing a new Sustainable Business Travel Policy for the University of Sussex, which will reflect our Sustainability Strategy commitments, particularly our commitment to achieve net zero carbon by 2035.
