Travel Costs
Travel and subsistence is probably one of the costs areas that is more often than not described least well on proposals. Sponsors normally like the proposer to provide details of destinations, mode of travel, period of stay etc – often this information is not provided and could jeopardise the bid.
For travel bookings we recommend the use of the suppliers detailed on the following link. Purchasing has negotiated a formal contract with these suppliers of Flights, Rail and Hire Cars.
For staff using their own vehicles for travel the following page will provide you with travel rates for motorcars, motorcycles, bicycles and passengers - Travel rates
Subsistence Costs
Travel and subsistence claims are always paid at UWE rates even though the sponsor may be offering T&S rates at a higher or lower rate than ours. If the sponsor is offering a higher rate than ours then the maximum you can claim in the proposal is the UWE rate. If the sponsor is offering a lower rate than ours then approval will have to be sought through your faculty or service area to receive approval that the shortfall will be met by the faculty.
Subsistence rates can also be found on the following page - Subsistence rates
