INVITATION TO TENDER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF A COMMERCIAL IMPORTANTPERSON (CIP/VIP) TERMINAL FACILITY AT JOMO KENYATTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, NAIROBI, KENYA

TENDER NO: KAA/244/2014-2015

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport has a limited number of commercial lounges for use by its passengers and government officials. The few facilities available have small passenger handling capacities and not adequate to meet the requirements of the many passengers who would like to use them. With the increase d growth of passenger traffic at the airport there is great urgency to expand the facility to paying passengers. To meetthis challenge, we propose to set up a commercial passenger handling terminal to be developed and managed by a third party.

The scope of services will entail three critical components as detailed below:

a)    Construction of the CIP/VIP Terminal

b)    Management of the CIP/VIP Terminal

c)    Operation of the CIP/VIP Terminal by providing essential facilities and ground-handling services.
