This is so true. This is very prominent in the B2B and procurement sector. For the last 2 years, in my clientele alone... Many of our serviced companies and executives have had significant losses in companies due to airline delays, luggage lost and travel inconveniences. Most travel agencies are not equipped to handle such high end & high pressure situations. It takes a certain kind of high level concierge offering end to end travel solution to address these gaps (at Amplified27 this is a complimentary service for our VIPs, if they have hired one of our precision VAs, which we train to also perform high speed luggage location for example, in connection with airlines, no matter the mishap!). Case in point — just in 2022-2023's records alone, transactions reported a significant travel decrease and a sharp decline on purchase patterns in the hospitality and travel sector with major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, Discover, JCB, American Express, Citi of about 50% to 70% dip on low. However industry was able to reach a 65% increase in recovery in travel-related transactions in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. With assistive and integrative support from high level concierge travel agencies or adding a similar extension in your company or firm, you can generate high income higher CRM retention. This is due to the fact that shorter protocols and faster real-time turnaround solutions enable synergy and momentum which then reflects on the P&L as growth rendered in service over time — a far cry from wasted time in airports and waiting for airlines to return your luggage or deal with the refunds or canceled/rescheduled trips — which hampers efficiency at the large picture. Having this extra function or service can help clients in manufacturing, B2B & procurement particularly those in urgent-field sectors such as healthcare, pharmaceutical, retail & FMCG save costs, by being serviced with a dedicated travel concierge team attentive to their needs as your employees and teams give their best for every work-related travel or international meeting.

Delighted to see some of our customers thriving with the release of the latest Tussell Strategic Suppliers Report - Kier Group , Mitie and Amey maintained their place in the top 10 suppliers to the public sector Overall #publicsector procurement grew by 4% in FY22/23 and the existence of a Strategic Supplier set doesn't preclude SMEs and local businesses from earning a share. Don't forget, Strategic Suppliers need to increase the #socialvalue of their bids, so if you’re an #SME or supplier who is local to the area that a contract is being delivered in, there is a social value benefit to Strategic Suppliers to include you in their supply chain. Strategic suppliers could have a real influence on how social value is delivered so there is great opportunity for SMEs to familiarise themselves with the needs and work of Strategic Suppliers and position themselves as a key partner.

This nuanced portrayal of the Strategic Suppliers in the Tussell’s 2023 report provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between the government and its key suppliers

In the vast arena of UK government spending, a few pivotal players known as Strategic Suppliers command attention. The latest Tussell's 2023 Strategic Suppliers Report unveils the shifting dynamics, challenges, and achievements of these crucial partners, spotlighting the ever-evolving landscape of public procurement

📖 Once again the UK National Audit Office turns to Tussell in its new ‘Efficiency in government procurement of common goods and services’ report. 🥇 Using data from the Tussell platform, the UK National Audit Office has reported that the Crown Commercial Service is the largest framework provider of 2022-2023. 📊 While more contracts by value are awarded through the CCS than the next 19 framework providers combined, the report still points to market fragmentation “resulting in duplication of effort and increasing bidding costs for suppliers.” Tussell is proud to be the NAO’s independent source of trusted insight on #publicsector procurement. We hope our data will power decisions to get even more value out of government contracting in the future. Read the full report on the NAO website (link in comments) 👇 #procurement #frameworks
