Electronic Flight Progress Strips (EFPS)

Location

North West England:

Description

MAG are seeking to invite tenders for a new Electronic Flight Progress Strip System (EFPS) to replace systems at our existing three airports, Manchester, East Midlands and Stansted. In consideration of the 'state of the art' within the market place, at the time of writing this requirement, it is clear that the evolution to an integrated controller work position (ICWP) is the way forward, in order to produce efficiencies and promote safety by enabling controllers to operate in a less cluttered and distracting environment. Primarily, the ICWP is viewed as an integration platform whereby the merging of data from various airports systems, from other vendors, will provide a clearer more efficient workspace for controllers and have the flexibility to permit the evolution of new ways of working. At this stage, it is required that the first delivery of an ICWP/EFPS will occur at Manchester and must include the EFPS functionality. MAG are seeking to establish a framework agreement for ICWP/EFPS to allow Call-Off by each airport; Manchester Airport Plc, Stansted Airport Ltd and East Midlands International Airport Ltd in respect of the supply to each airport.

Renewal Options

Multiple extensions are anticipated. An initial 5 year framework agreement is anticipated with further potential extensions taking it through to 15 years in total. This potential framework length will allow MAG to call off any maintenance and support requirements long beyond the initial implementation at each of the three airports. The extensions may be exercised at MAG's discretion based on a range of factors including business needs and circumstances.
