Clarity secures place on new public sector global travel and venue solutions framework

Clarity, the business travel experts, are one of 3 agencies to have secured a place on the latest Crown Commercial Services Travel and Venue Sourcing framework for the public sector. The framework (RM6164 Public Sector Global Travel and Venue Solutions – Solution B) is open to any public sector organisation, including central government, local authorities and wider public sector bodies.

Clarity has a proven track record in delivering travel and venue sourcing for the public sector over a number of years and scored top in the process. The framework runs for an initial period of 3 years and will include the provision of on and offline travel booking services for both domestic and international travel alongside venue sourcing in a one-stop shop solution.

Pat McDonagh CEO commented, “This is excellent news for the future of our business and we’re delighted to have secured a place on this prestigious framework. Our outstanding scoring during the sourcing process demonstrates both our experience and broad range of capabilities and I’m sure many public sector customers will benefit from that moving forward.

It will be our job to ensure best value for our customers and outstanding levels of customer service and we very much look forward to delivering that. This is the most challenging market our industry has ever faced and I’m delighted that this news gives us the opportunity to grow our business and protect jobs in the process.”

Katrina Williams, Head of Travel at Crown Commercial Service commented “We are delighted to welcome Clarity back onto one of our Frameworks and very much look forward to partnering with them in the delivery of customer service excellence, innovation and commercial value, throughout the life of this agreement.”
