## Summary

PAH Limited is conducting a voluntary competitive tender process for the proposed sale of its shareholding in Prestwick Aviation Holdings Limited (PAHL), which owns Glasgow Prestwick Airport (GPA), located in Prestwick, Scotland. The procurement method employed is a selective process using a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. Bidders have until 12:00 hours BST on 26 November 2020 to express their interest by submitting an Eligibility Response through the Public Contracts Scotland portal. This tender falls under the category of services and is part of ongoing efforts to re-establish the sale of shares initially interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the aviation and transportation sectors, particularly those with expertise in airport operations, freight handling, and military services. Companies experienced in managing airport services or investment in infrastructure could significantly benefit from participating in this competitive process. Those looking to expand their business in the Scottish aviation industry are well-suited to engage in this tender, given GPA's unique offering as the only Scottish airport with its railway station, extensive aviation services, and substantial land bank available for development.

## Notice

Glasgow Prestwick Airport ("GPA") is an international airport on the west coast of Scotland in the UK. Prestwick Aviation Holdings Limited ("PAHL") wholly owns GPA.
