York-based conference and events agency, NYS Corporate, has won a coveted place on the government’s Buying Solutions Framework Agreement. The framework is designed to supply travel management services to the public sector for the next four years.
NYS Corporate won a position for all six lots tendered for in the latest round, and claims to be one of the few public sector suppliers able to supply a full ‘one stop shop’ solution for travel requirements.
Buying Solutions is affiliated to the Cabinet Office and the largest of over 40 professional buying organisations (PBO) in the wider public sector. The organisation has developed a web portal to allow public sector organisations select a provider, knowing that they already meet stringent criteria.
Senior account manager at NYS Corporate, Leanne Fowler, tells CN the tender process was “very rigorous and time-consuming, with detailed questions on each specialism (Rail, Air and Ferry, Hotel Accommodation, Serviced Apartments, Conference and Meetings, and One-stop shop with ancillary services) as well as generic requirements. To be awarded a position on all six is therefore recognition of the comprehensive product offering and high levels of service that NYS Corporate provides”.
Major corporate clients of the company, which reports an annual turnover of £40m, include Siemens and O2 on the corporate side, and the Home Office and Department for Work and Pensions on the government side.
