Airport & Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) is inviting bids for the operation of core category duty free concessions at Bandaranaike International Airport.
The company has opened the bidding process internationally and will implement a split concession model.
Airport & Aviation Services is looking to select two operators; each will run one duty free shop in Arrivals and one in Departures for a contract period of five years. The bidding process will close on 23 June 2016.
The duty free concession at the airport was split between World Duty Free Group and Flemingo in mid-2011 for a period of five years.
Earlier this year, the government of Sri Lanka established a Procurement Committee and Technical Evaluation Committee to oversee a more “transparent” selection process. It said previous contracts had been awarded as a franchise right with no tender procedure or calling for competitive bidding conducted in selection.
