Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply, installation, and maintenance of ECAC approved explosive detection systems for cabin baggage and security scanners at Gibraltar Airport was conducted by Gibraltar Air Terminal Ltd, representing the HM Government of Gibraltar. The tender, classified under security equipment and engineering work for security installations, followed an open procedure exceeding the threshold standards. With a contract value of £4,537,852.71 GBP, this process has reached the award stage as of 2nd September 2025, with the contract period running from 3rd September 2025 to 2nd September 2030. Key dates included the tender publication on 30th October 2024 and a submission deadline on 2nd December 2024. The procurement mainly targeted the provision of goods and was open to suppliers from Gibraltar, the UK, or relevant trade agreement territories due to its non-participation in the WTO GPA.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for SMEs involved in the security equipment sector, particularly those that can offer innovative and upgradeable solutions compliant with EU security regulations. Businesses specialising in engineering and maintenance services for security installations are well-positioned to bid for such contracts, with the potential to grow through enhanced market exposure and stable long-term engagements. The involvement of an international supplier, Comercial de Tecnologias Electronicas SAU, underscores the tender's attraction for firms with the capability to deliver and maintain sophisticated security systems.
