Phase II Submissions

As advised previously, the revised bids for the Operations Phase (Phase II) of the airport project were expected from Basil Read and Impregilo by Friday, 12th September 2008.   We are pleased to confirm that we are in receipt of both of them.

In an effort to strengthen their bids, both Tenderer’s have sub-contracted different Operators (i.e. the company who will operate the airport once it is officially opened).

Lanseria International has joined the Basil Read Consortia, and Serco has joined Impregilo.

Lanseria International Airport (LIA) is the second largest airport in the Gauteng Province after Oliver Tambo International Airport (ORTRIA), formerly known as Johannesburg International.  Lanseria is the only airport in Gauteng, other than OR Tambo, to have international status.

Serco is one of the largest non-government providers of air traffic services in the world. They operate on a global basis and handle about 6 million aircraft movements each year at airports in Europe, the Middle East and North America.  They are also currently operating on Ascension Island and the Falklands.

Atkins is now in the process of evaluating the revised Phase II bids and following their evaluation, will recommend a ‘Preferred Tenderer’ to SHG/DFID.  We will keep you informed of progress.
