HRG Wins Place on OGC Travel Management Services Framework Agreement

Hogg Robinson has won a competitive tender to be part of OGCbuying.solutions' Travel Management Services Framework Agreement, starting from March 2009.

HRG will provide a comprehensive one-stop solution from specialist service centres covering air, rail, hotel, meetings and events. This traditional telephone based service will operate alongside HRG Online, an integrated self-booking solution supported by an e-fulfilment centre based in Liverpool, providing an all-encompassing booking and information service for the public sector.

The tool allows potential clients to search and book all travel and accommodation requirements from both GDS and non-GDS sources, obtaining the best possible rates for their individual needs.

Matthew Pancaldi, Director of Sales for HRG UK, said, "Being part of the OGCbuying.solutions Travel Management Services Framework highlights HRG's excellent track record for providing corporate travel management to government departments. I am delighted that OGCbuying.solutions has recognised HRG's commitment to providing outstanding service and look forward to working with various public sector bodies to introduce innovative travel management solutions."

OGCbuying.solutions is an Executive Agency of the Office of Government Commerce in the Treasury. The framework contracts travel management on behalf of government departments and the wider public sector. This enables public sector clients to bypass lengthy tender processes required under government procurement rules, instead selecting services from a number of pre-approved Travel Management Companies. Prospective clients will benefit from HRG's solutions, which ensure policy compliance, monitor traveller security and report on corporate travel both pre and post-trip. These services will be focused on obtaining better value for all business travel in terms of cost, quality and service delivery.
