Hotel booking portal.

The AOK community carries out a hotel portal tender with the aim of finding a common service provider for all participating AOKs. The hotel portal is to take over both the booking functionality and the billing via a cost transfer function for the participating AOKs.

The annual hotel expenses of the AOK community amount to an estimated EUR 4 million pa, spread over approximately 38 thousand transactions.

The process of procuring travel funds is to be embedded in the travel authorization process and travel expense accounting process, which is currently being rolled out in the AOKs and based on the SAP ESS ("Employee Self Service") and the SAP Travel Management solution.

99% of travels have domestic German destinations, with a small but slightly increasing share being spent in other European countries.

The start of the cooperation should be 1.7.2020.
