The Institute of Travel & Meetings of the UK and Ireland commissioned BCD Travel consulting arm Advito to deliver templates and resources, primarily for UK travel buyers, on policy, requests for proposals and other functions
. "Initially all tools will be targeted at those who are new to the industry or work for small to medium enterprises, but ITM and Advito see a natural development of the service to help standardize templates used in the industry for all travel and meeting buyers over time, with the net result that the RFP process becomes more efficient for all concerned," according to the association.
