Airports of Thailand's board will today consider the terms of reference for the new baggage cart concession at Suvarnabhumi Airport as well as a special bidding process aimed at major international companies.
AOT president Serirat Prasutanond said yesterday that under the proposed procedures, AOT would choose one company to procure and manage 9,034 luggage trolleys using the special method of inviting at least three experienced firms to submit proposals.
The basic requirements call for trolleys to be purchased from the top three global brands and be made of lightweight aluminium, unlike the old ones at Suvarnabhumi.
The bid process is expected to take one month and the winner is expected to start delivering the trolleys to AOT next January.
The key selection factors will be the best management plan and the most reasonable fee.
AOT has decided that the trolley management fee must not be more than what it had paid to Thai Airport Ground Services (Tags), the previous concession holder, but the management quality must be better than TAGS.
TAGS' concession stipulated a total management fee of Bt532.86 million over its seven-year term.
AOT is rushing to seek a new trolley firm following its recent termination of the TAGS contract.
An AOT source said that among the top three global trolley brands are Wanzal and Expresso.
The source said King Power is expected to join the bidding as it has already bagged the deal from AOT to manage advertising on the carts.
