AUSTRALIA. Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) today issued a Request for Proposal (RFP), inviting best in class food & beverage (F&B) service providers for ten opportunities within Brisbane Airport’s Domestic Terminal.
This is the second commercial tender that BAC has issued in quick succession. As reported, a ten-year duty free concession beginning on 1 February 2024 is also out to bid. Submissions for the duty free contract are due by May.
BAC is seeking responses from Quick Service Restaurants (QSR), bar and café operators for seven-year contract opportunities ranging from approximately 20sq m to 400+sq m in prominent post-security locations.
The RFP will close at 4pm AEST on Tuesday, 28 February 2023. For more details, visit bne.com.au
Opportunities include a new contemporary bar concept, located by the glass windows in the Southern Terminal, allowing customers the opportunity to sip cocktails while watching planes take-off and land.
BAC Executive General Manager Commercial Martin Ryan said the successful retailers will join the airport community at an incredibly exciting time.
“We are very pleased to announce the next stage in the evolution of Brisbane Airport’s food & beverage offer,” he commented. “It’s been amazing to see the incredible bounce back of domestic travellers post-COVID, and the fervour in which they have taken to the new cuisines and offers we released in the Northern Terminal in 2019.
“We will build upon this and take the offer to the next level again, with the release of not only these ten F&B sites, but the integration and upgrade of gate lounge seating. This will create an improved customer experience for all passengers travelling through the Domestic Terminal.”
As part of this retail evolution, a new espresso bar will be added, serving the best of Brisbane’s famous coffee scene. It will be complemented by an all-day dining restaurant in the spectacular Southern satellite location, which predominantly services Virgin Australia passengers.
Seven locations within the bustling Southern Food Court are also available for quick service restaurant brands, catering for high volumes of passengers on their departing and returning journeys to Brisbane.
