Malaysia Airports issues tenders for 14 retail and food & beverage concessions at Kuala Lumpur International

MALAYSIA. Malaysia Airports has issued a tender notice for 14 retail and food & beverage packages comprising 22 lots at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

These are divided into two groups: a Package Deal category and Standard category. Under the Package Deal, bidders can choose to tender for a four-lot package which covers news, books & convenience units. Additionally, there is a Package Deal that allows potential retail partners to be the single operator of a duty free walkthrough store in international arrivals (four lots) that carries core products (perfumes & cosmetics, confectionery plus liquor & tobacco).

Malaysia Airports is offering a range of commercial packages amid a “reset” of its thinking for retail and F&B at KLIA

For F&B outlets, there is also a Package Deal for bidders to operate a casual dining restaurant within two adjoining lots. Similarly, potential partners can also bid for another two-lot package for a coffee-based F&B outlet.

Meanwhile the Standard Package tenders offer bidders the opportunity to run retail outlets in multiple categories. Lot sizes under the Standard Package tenders range from 25sq m to 128sq m. Details of the packages appear in the table below.

The traffic figures here are published by exclusive agreement with m1ndset’s newly launched Business 1ntelligence Service (B1S). This unique air traffic forecasting tool was developed with IATA and ARC’s ‘Direct Data Service’ (DDS) database. Click to enlarge charts.

According to Malaysia Airports, this tender exercise is part of the company’s initiative to refresh services and facilities at KLIA. The objective, it said, is to “attract reputable brands as well as encourage innovative concepts to be showcased at KLIA”. The tender invitation is aligned to Malaysia Airports’ ‘Reset Strategy’ to enhance KLIA’s commercial offerings and deliver “an exceptional total airport experience for travellers”. [The commercial reset was flagged in an interview with Eraman General Manager Zulhikam Ahmad in May.]

A mandatory briefing session for interested parties or their representatives will be held on Friday 17 August. Tender documents are available for purchase from the Procurement & Contract Division until 13 September.
