What is being bought

Published requirement description

FCDO Services (the Authority) invites tenders from Travel Risk Management Providers for a Travel Risk Management Service to enhance the safety and security of the Authority's officers and its eligible contractors

The successful provider will configure, implement and deliver a successful Travel Risk Management System and associated services to both FCDO and FCDO Services

The selected Travel Risk Management (TRM) service will assist the Authority in maintaining its operational service delivery objectives, whilst fulfilling its duty of care obligations to its staff and the general public. It should have both preventative and reactive capabilities, combining mass communications and a more targeted facility during incident and crisis management (i.e. assisting in the preservation of life, maintaining operational delivery, protecting assets and upholding the Authority's reputation).
