USA. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport today released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a range of retail, food & beverage and spa service concessions via The Moodie Davitt Report.
The opportunities will be advertised on a special tender banner on our home page from today. They include spaces in terminals B, C, D and E.
Introducing the RFP, Dallas/Fort Worth Airport said it wanted to create “an environment for our visitors that is welcoming, modern, bold, customer-friendly and full of moments of wow”.
There are four dining packages on offer, for a fast food deli, fast food chicken, two bars and an Asian bar and grill respectively.
Three retail packages are split by category. The first covers travel essentials & coffee, electronics, sunglasses and an open retail concept. The second features two travel essentials locations and the third houses travel essentials, sports apparel and an open retail concept.
The two spa packages cover a total of three locations.
The airport said that proposals “should reflect brands and solutions that have regional, national and global appeal, including how technological advancements can be incorporated into their operation”.
Bids are due on 14 March for most packages, with two F&B and one retail package due on 28 March. Recommendations on the winning candidates are expected to go before the board in June.
