The UK Government, which is considered to have the country’s largest travel account, has selected KDS to manage its online travel bookings.
KDS is part of a consortium led by Capgemini UK plc that has won the contract to design and operate a new electronic travel booking service for use across UK Government departments.
The first user of the service will be the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
Group Captain Andy Towler, defence travel modernisation team leader, said: “This service is a key component of modernising travel within the Department, which will simplify the travel booking process by allowing journeys to be arranged online.”
Cliff Evans, MoD Account Director at Capgemini, said: “We found KDS Corporate to be the most suitable solution for the UK Government. It is extremely simple to use for travel booking while providing travel managers advanced policy monitoring features and offering the stringent security required by the Government.”
