The request for tenders is the first of several planned procurement processes at the DAA for long-term capital projects at the airport, which the authority is carrying out despite the impact of Covid-19 and the sharp drop in passenger numbers and income.
“We are adopting a twin-track approach to the Dublin Airport capital programme, whereby we intend to move forward with key activities such as procurement and planning as these do not require significant capital investment at this point,” a DAA spokesman said.
“This approach takes account of current market conditions and will position Dublin Airport for when the upturn is in full swing and we need to progress future developments in order to meet the requirements of the Irish economy.”
