Description

Requirement is for Air Traffic Engineering and Maintenance Services. Due to internal restructuring and lack of resources, it has become necessary to extend the provision of HIAL's current Air Traffic Engineering and Maintenance Services with the incumbent supplier for a further 2 years. This notice serves as a record of the award of that extension without prior competition.
