STA Travel UK enters administration
STA Travel UK (Supplier No: 62200) has entered administration and ceased trading with immediate effect, following the insolvency of its Swiss parent company STA Travel Holdings AG.
Our framework manager is in talks with STA Travel regarding outstanding bookings and refunds. We will issue a further update when we have more information to share.
Procurement Services will be contacting departments that have made bookings with STA Travel within the last twelve months. If you have any further questions relating to this situation, please contact Procurement.Services.Enquiries@admin.cam.ac.uk.

Quick Tip – CUFS GM Expenditure Enquiry Folder Tools
The folder tools function allows you to customise the screen. You can move/hide/unhide columns and sort data. There are a number of hidden columns that are not included in the default view.
If you need specific data, have a look at the extra information available. You can save your new view [using Save As], but you must ensure that you name it starting with your Department codes and CRSID. Additionally, Autoquery must be checked as Never, and both Include Query and Public check boxes must be UNCHECKED.
For more information, see Customising the Expenditure Enquiry screen. To revert to the default view, in Open folder, select the SYSADMIN owner.
