The Ottawa International Airport Authority is seeking expressions of interest from experienced retail and food/beverage operators concerning up to eight locations within the passenger terminal building at the Ottawa International Airport. The locations are a mix of pre- and post-security, and include both existing and new outlets. The Authority is looking for a variety of uses and welcomes local, regional and national/international brands.
The Ottawa International Airport is an award winning and architecturally beautiful facility which welcomes approximately 4.6 million total passengers each year. Combined passenger spending on food, retail and duty-free in calendar 2013 was approximately $23 million (CDN), or $10 per enplaned passenger.
Qualified respondents (i.e. those having previous retail experience) will be eligible to respond to any Request(s) for Proposals (RFP) that may arise out of this process. Detailed submissions with financial projections and store designs etc. are not required for this process; the Authority is seeking only a general overview of the respondent’s experience and vision for the location(s) in question.
Respondents that wish to obtain more information on the process or submit an expression of interest should consult www.merx.com under the Agencies, Crown and Private Corporations section and search for Reference Number PR289522, or conduct an Advanced Search under the category “Leasing or Rental of Facilities”.
OMCIAA operates Ottawa International Airport without government subsidies under an 80-year lease transfer agreement with Transport Canada. The OMCIAA’s mandate is to manage, operate and develop airport facilities and lands in support of the economic growth of the National Capital Region.
