The purpose is to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2035. The University aims to simplify the approval and booking process and is seeking a "One-Stop Shop" solution to enhance governance and user engagement. This opportunity is related to IT services such as consulting and software development, with an emphasis on sustainability and efficiency. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for September 30, 2023. This tender from the University of Sussex offers opportunities for businesses specialized in IT services, particularly in consulting, software development, and support. Companies with expertise in developing sustainable solutions aligned with carbon reduction goals are well-suited to compete. The anticipated renewal period for the contract is 12 months, and businesses interested in innovative, analytical solutions to streamline travel processes and enhance user experience are encouraged to participate in the upcoming tender stage. ## 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.
