SINGAPORE. Singapore Cruise Centre Pte Ltd (SCC) is inviting interested parties to respond to a Request for Qualification (RFQ) in an open tender to win the duty free and general merchandise concession at the HarbourFront and Tanah Merah terminals.
Announcing the tender via The Moodie Davitt Report, the SCC said it is investing in the redesigning and upgrading of its commercial offer at both terminals through the expansion and reconfiguration of the main retail space in the Departures and Arrivals channels.
SCC has elected to consolidate several separate contracts for the existing duty free liquor & tobacco; perfumes & cosmetics; fashion & travel accessories; and confectionery concessions. These are being merged into a single concession that will run for five years with a two-year extension option, commencing 1 April 2017.
The incumbents are DFS Group (liquor & tobacco) and Gebr Heinemann for the balance of the business.
The opportunity covers 542sqm of retail space, serving over 6.3 million ferry passengers and 560,000 cruise passengers annually.
Singapore Cruise Centre CEO Christina Siaw commented: “It is an exciting time for SCC as we launch our first public duty free retail tender amid bullish prospects for the cruise and ferry industry in Asia Pacific.
“We are committed to driving passenger growth in our terminals and retail is a key contributor to overall passenger satisfaction. We seek an experienced, world-class duty free retail operator to partner us in developing a unique, integrated shopping destination that optimises commercial revenues at our terminals.”
RFQ documents should be requested by emailing Sean Tan, Vice President (Asset & Facilities Management) at seantan@singaporecruise.com.sg and Teresa Ling, Manager (Commercial Leasing) at teresaling@singaporecruise.com.sg.
The deadline for the RFQ submission is Thursday 30 June, 4pm (SGT), deposited into Tender Box A in the reception area at Singapore Cruise Centre Pte Ltd, 1 Maritime Square (Lobby D), #07-01, HarbourFront Centre, Singapore 099253.
