About
Family Fund awarded a contract to Inspire Europe Limited for the provision of travel agency services to supply UK and overseas holidays to families caring for disabled and seriously ill children who have received a family break grant.
The contract, valued at £35,000,000, required online and telephone booking capabilities, with in-store booking preferable, and staff awareness of the difficulties families face when travelling with a disabled child.
The supplier must facilitate bookings of adapted rooms with appropriate equipment, ensure ABTA/ATOL protection for funds once holidays are booked, and provide a full audit trail with management information.
Electronic order files and invoicing in line with Family Fund's standard formats were also required.
