Description

FCO Services (the Authority) are a Trading Fund of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), situated at Hanslope Park, nr. Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. As part of our remit we provide secure IT, secure logistics and estate management services to the FCO, wider government and foreign friendly governments. In support of these services the Authority regularly utilises scheduled airlines (both cargo and passenger) to provide logistical services to its customers. To support this function the Authority requires 24 hour access to airline data to help its officers plan and co-ordinate the movement of goods and staff to locations globally. The Authority is looking to award a contract for 2 years for the provision of access to such data for between 5 to 10 staff members.
