Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process is being led by Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (HIAL) for the procurement of Flight Information Display Systems. This procurement, classified under the air traffic control software package segment, is currently in the planning stage. The estimated timeframe for the publication of a Contract Notice is October 2022, with the contract award expected in early 2023. The systems will be operational at Dundee, Kirkwall, and Stornoway Airports by the end of 2023, facilitating enhanced situational awareness for Air Traffic Control Officers and Aerodrome Flight Information Service Officers.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for suppliers in the technology and aviation sectors, particularly those specialising in air traffic control software and systems integration. Businesses with expertise in developing compliant, real-time information display solutions will be well-positioned to compete. The phased approach of the project not only opens potential for initial contract delivery but may also allow for subsequent redeployment to other airports, depending on HIAL's strategic direction, thus amplifying the scope for successful bidders.

Notice Title

Flight Information Display System

Notice Description

The purpose of this notice is to update potential Suppliers on HIAL's plans for procurement of Flight Information Display (FID) Systems. FID systems will provide Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs) and Aerodrome Flight Information Service Officers (AFISOs) with enhanced situational awareness of aircraft flying in the vicinity of the Airport through the display on an integrated, cooperative real time air picture.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) operates and manages eleven airports throughout the north of Scotland and plays a vital role in the Scotland's air transport network. A mixture of Air Traffic Control (ATC) and Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS) provision ensures delivery of the required level of Air Traffic Service (ATS) to support lifeline and commercial air operations. As part of its continuing effort to enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of its ATS, HIAL is currently exploring options to install Flight Information Display (FID) systems at several of its airports operating in uncontrolled airspace (Class G) without conventional ground-based surveillance systems. When operational, the new FID systems will provide Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs) and Aerodrome Flight Information Service Officers (AFISOs) with enhanced situational awareness via the display of an integrated, cooperative real time air picture. HIAL will work with local colleagues and key stakeholders to develop the Operational Requirement and technical specification to procure a suitable and regulatory compliant FID solution using a competent supplier. The project, which will be managed in accordance with HIAL's established project management process, will follow a phased approach: Phase 1: Definition, Specification, and Procurement. Phase 2: Delivery at three HIAL airports. Phase 3: Potential redeployment to other HIAL airports is dependent on HIAL Board approval of the implementation of the revised strategic direction for air traffic modernisation.

    "description": "Suppliers should note that HIAL is progressing the development of an Operational Requirement and associated technical and delivery requirements to implement three systems into ATC units. Assuming the necessary updates to CAP493 Part 1 are made in August 2022, and the project proceeds as expected, the estimated window for publication of a Contract Notice is October 2022, with award to follow in early 2023. The tender documentation will include required data types (e.g., Mode S and ADS-B) and expected coverage (circa 25NM allowing for terrain and environmental considerations). HIAL expects all three systems to be operational by the end of 2023. Depending on other programmes of work, HIAL may look to redeploy these three systems in their entirety to other units at a later date.
