Summary of the contracting process

Belfast City Airport Limited is seeking to procure aviation security services through a selective tender process. The tender, titled "Aviation Security Tender", falls under the security services classification within the wider services industry. Bids are being solicited for services that include screening of passengers and baggage, security patrols, and emergency response, all at Belfast City Airport, located at Sydenham Bypass, Belfast BT3 9JH. The submission deadline for proposals is set for 1 July 2022, with further selection stages anticipated, including an invitation to shortlisted candidates on 13 July 2022. The initial contract is expected to last for three years, with options for two additional one-year extensions based on performance and compliance with contract terms.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those with experience in aviation or high-security environments. Companies that can offer comprehensive security solutions, including necessary equipment and personnel management, stand to benefit. Given the requirement for around-the-clock service provision throughout the year, businesses with resources for staffing and operational flexibility will be well-positioned to compete. As there are strict compliance standards outlined, firms that can demonstrate adherence to applicable regulations and effective operational management will likely find this procurement process advantageous.
