Public Sector Savings

BSI is working hand-in-hand with public sector travel managers to help them adopt strategies to minimise impact from budget cuts and achieve the sustainable results required in these challenging times.

Low cost and multiple distribution channels result in some of the industry’s lowest pricing for BSI public sector clients and cost effective solutions are being delivered without compromising on quality. We are helping public sector clients optimise the management of spend by going back to basics and following some simple steps:

Challenging policy with regular reviews
Breaking down the booking process
Identifying the opportunities for improvement
Redefining the selection criteria for accommodation (based on value, total cost of stay & duty of care) rather than ‘named’ hotels
Consolidating the number and type of hotels, venues and properties used in order to further drive down costs
Developing benchmarking strategies to ensure that rates remain competitive during the life cycle of the contract
Building policies back up with best practice technology, buying practices and processes
Critically evaluating existing ordering and invoicing processes and co-develop a more efficient systems
Ensuring policy communication programmes are effective
Measuring compliance and savings results via reporting through payment solutions

BSI’s cost avoidance models are also reaping rewards for public sector clients.
