Description

TC924 - Framework Provision for Travel Services The Council has introduced a staff travel policy with a view to reducing the carbon emissions through in-work travel by 100 tonnes of CO2 a year. The staff travel policy includes the introduction of a travel hierarchy which asks staff to prioritise sustainable modes. Public transport is a big part of that and making public transport modes easy to access for staff will be the key to success. Manchester City Council is seeking a supplier(s) for the provision of travel booking for in-work staff travel. This will provide an alternative to ‘grey fleet’ travel for employees to conduct in-work travel via sustainable modes in line with the Travelling Sustainably staff travel policy.
