Court Says Fraport Must Redo Ground Services Contract Bid

Oct. 15, 2014
The court ruled the tender process at Europe's third-largest airport had not met guidelines on transparency because key criteria on which the decision for the winning bid was based were not set out before companies had submitted bids.

Oct 15 (Reuters) - Airport operator Fraport must rerun a tender for a ground services contract at Frankfurt airport, a German administrative court ruled on Wednesday, saying the original process contained errors.

The case was brought against Fraport by the bidder that lost out on the seven-year contract, German services company WISAG Aviation. The winning bidder during the 2013 process was Spanish infrastructure and services company Acciona.
