Gatwick

Eighteen consultants out of 130 applicants have won places on two new frameworks for Gatwick Airport鈥檚 拢1.5bn five-year long revamp plans, which are part of its 拢2.7bn transformation programme.

The 13 preferred bidders on the Design and Engineering Framework include US engineer Jacobs, which earlier this week acquired rival CH2M for 拢2.5bn, Ramboll and WSP.

While the seven bidders who bagged spots on The Professional Services Resource Framework include Aecom and Faithful+Gould.

The lots on the design and engineering framework have been organised in terms of complexity rather than value.

Project鈥檚 planned for the UK鈥檚 second largest airport include the reconfiguration of stands to facilitate a changing aircraft mix, building a new hangar in partnership with Boeing, extending Pier 6 to increase pier service levels, adding a new domestic arrivals facility at the South Terminal and a continuation of the roll out the self-service bag drop product. 

Gatwick鈥檚 director of construction Raymond Melee said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 an exciting time at Gatwick as we kick off our five-year Capital Investment Programme with 拢1.15bn committed up to 2022 and 拢240m planned for 2017/18 alone. 

鈥淲e are halfway through a 拢2.7bn transformation programme as we plan for more growth and improved efficiency, while also maintaining our record levels of passenger satisfaction.鈥
