There are many reasons why companies kick start the Request for Proposal (RFP) process to research, validate and choose a travel partner.

These include:  

  • Expanding and struggling to keep up with business travel bookings and changes.  

  • Unhappy with current travel management company (TMC)’s service or lack of innovation. 

  • Need to consolidate travel booking providers and data.  

  • Contractually, must go to RFP.  

It's a match you want to get right the first time. Take on these tips when you're next out to tender. If you already know you want to include FCM in your next RFP, get in touch now!

Researching and evaluating RFP responses from TMCs 

Key factors you should consider in your overall travel programme strategy: 

Increased value 

From retention and traveller safety to time savings, a TMC should be bringing immense value across your company. 

Improved service 

If your current service isn’t up to scratch, it’s time to get a more personalised, smoother solution and support. 

Technology upgrade 

Mobile apps, AI-enhanced reporting, browser extension tech. If your tech’s in need of an upgrade, it’s possible.  

Savings opportunities 

An enhanced tech stack paired with excellent service and proactive account management paves the way for savings.  

FCM’s travel management services offer all this and more
