What is being bought

Published requirement description

Cardiff University requires a contract renewal of their current Travel and Expenses system that links with our current Travel Management provider.

This renewal follows an open tender process in 2020, where a preferred bidder was identified and which this renewal relates to. An appropriate framework was identified that would enable Cardiff University to direct award to the provider, however, the framework did not offer favorable pricing.
