St Helena Airport: Design, Build and Operate Contract
[OJEU Notice: 202-199644, Published 19/10/2005]
The UK Department for International Development (DFID), on behalf of the St Helena Government, invites Capability Statements for the design and build of an airport on the island of St Helena, located in the South Atlantic, and its operation (estimated for ten years) to support air services using Boeing B737-800 or similar. The project is being financed through grant funds from DFID to the St Helena Government. On completion of construction, the contractor will be required to provide airport operational services for a fixed period and, at the end of the agreed operating term, return the asset in good working order, having followed a strict maintenance regime so as to maximise the working life of the airport, also having effected operating skills transfer to local people.
An air service will be provided under a separate contract with an air service provider to meet passenger traffic requirements. It is expected that the service would start with one rotation per week. The DBO contractor will be expected to interface with the air service provider on aspects of airport design impacts and also on airport operations.
Industry Day
An Industry Day will be held on the 16th November 2005 at DFID’s offices at 1 Palace Street, London, SW1E 5HE. This event will be an open forum for parties who are considering submitting a Capability Statement.
