Duty of care in business travel is the legal and ethical obligation an employer has to ensure the safety and wellbeing of employees who travel for work. This includes knowing where travellers are at any time, providing risk information before they depart, and having emergency support in place should something go wrong during a trip.

RM6342 is the UK Government’s Travel and Venue Solutions framework, managed by the Government Commercial Agency (GCA). It provides a compliant and efficient route for public sector organisations to procure business travel management, accommodation, venue finding and related services.

Suppliers appointed to the RM6342 framework, such as Clarity, have already met strict requirements covering service delivery, financial stability, data security and sustainability. This means buyers can engage travel management services quickly, without running a full procurement process, while remaining fully compliant with public sector procurement regulations.

RM6342 is designed to support value for money, duty of care, reporting transparency, and consistent service standards across public sector travel programmes.

A managed travel programme involves outsourcing all employee travel logistics to a Travel Management Company (TMC), streamlining the booking process, and ensuring compliance with travel policies. This approach saves time and money by centralising travel management, offering expert support, and providing access to better rates and comprehensive reporting—all in one place.

A travel management company (TMC) is a specialist provider that helps organisations plan, book, and manage their business travel. A TMC handles everything from flights and hotels to travel policy management, duty of care, reporting, and traveller support - giving businesses greater control, visibility, and value from their travel spend.

Business travel refers to travel undertaken for professional or work-related purposes, such as attending customer meetings, conferences, site visits, or corporate events. It's typically funded by the employing organisation and forms part of a broader managed travel programme governed by a corporate travel policy.

Strategic Meetings Management (SMM) is the systematic approach to managing an organisation’s meeting activities, including spend, volume, suppliers, and standards, to ensure they align with the company’s broader strategic goals. It’s similar to travel management but specifically focused on meetings. SMM provides organisations with greater visibility, control, and cost efficiency by centralising the planning and management of meetings. This approach streamlines tasks such as venue sourcing and contract management, while also mitigating risks and improving ROI. Implementing SMM helps organisations optimise their meeting processes and achieve their business objectives.

The ROI of using MeetingsPro can be significant, as the platform helps to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and provide better visibility into meeting-related spend. By centralising and streamlining the meetings management process, companies can achieve measurable improvements in both financial and operational performance.

The Government Commercial Agency (GCA) is the new name for what was previously known as the Crown Commercial Service (CCS).
While the name has changed, the role and purpose remain the same: GCA manages public sector commercial frameworks that enable organisations to buy goods and services compliantly, efficiently and with confidence.

If you are familiar with CCS frameworks, you can think of GCA as a continuation and evolution of the same service, supporting public sector procurement through pre‑approved suppliers, robust due diligence and agreed commercial terms.
