The Cabinet of Ministers has approved awarding the contract for constructing an airfield facility complex at the Colombo International Airport, Ratmalana, to Sanken Construction (Private) Limited.
The project, valued at Rs. 3,046.29 million (excluding VAT), was approved based on the recommendations of the Procurement Evaluation Committee and the High-Level Standing Procurement Committee, as proposed by the Minister of Transport, Highways, Ports, and Civil Aviation.
Cabinet approval to initiate the procurement process for the project was first granted on September 17, 2019, following which bids were invited under the National Competitive Procurement Procedure. A total of nine bidders participated, and Sanken Construction emerged as the lowest responsive bidder.
The new airfield facility complex is expected to enhance infrastructure and operational efficiency at Sri Lanka’s oldest international airport.
