Opportunity overview

De Montfort University has an ongoing requirement for airport shuttle services, to and from all major UK airports. Currently, approximately 300 trips per year are undertaken to major UK airports. This is based on our current demand and is only indicative. Our existing process is based on email and web-based ordering but given developments in technology since the last contract award, we are keen to explore web and app-based solutions that could improve ease of use and efficiency.
