Abu Dhabi Airports calls for Expressions of Interest in Southside master duty free concession

UAE. Abu Dhabi Airports has called for Expressions of Interest (EOI) in the Southside master duty free concession at Abu Dhabi International Airport.

The contract covers all the existing terminal business at the airport but not the Midfield Terminal, which is due to open in 2019 (where Lagardère Capital has been awarded the liquor & tobacco, confectionery and fine foods concession and Aer Rianta International the perfumes, cosmetics, skincare, sunglasses and jewellery contract).

The incumbent is DFS Group, whose current contract expires in July 2018.

The concession includes all core categories except speciality retail, the pharmacy, news & books, gold and a cigar outlet.

Responses to the EOI are due by 12 noon on 17 August. The contract will run from opening until a date agreed between the two parties.

Companies which submit an Expression of Interest and meet the pre-RFP criteria will be invited to take part in the subsequent RFP.
