Hogg Robinson Group has been awarded the contract to deliver global travel management services for NATO.

The three year award is the culmination of an extensive bidding process and will involve a phased approach to service delivery. 

Phase 1 initially covers 11 NATO entities across five markets, with the option of 13 additional markets joining the framework at a later stage, Phase 2.

Successful delivery of Phase 1 will serve as a stepping stone to secure Phase 2 business.

NATO will deploy a range of technology, including some of HRG’s proprietary products, such as HRG Insight, across its global entities.

Mike Holmes, worldwide government services director for HRG, said: “This contract marks a true milestone in the way NATO has procured and managed travel services and all of us in HRG are truly delighted to be able to make today’s announcement. 

“The tender process was extremely professional and thorough, enabling HRG to demonstrate its expertise and position as a world leading provider of corporate services to deliver the optimal service for NATO.

“NATO has high expectations and has set us challenging targets which we are looking forward to achieving. 

“HRG looks forward to providing NATO with an efficient and cost effective travel service that meets their specialist needs, while achieving savings and adding value across their entire travel programme.”
