4. SECTION 4: BACKGROUND, PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK

4.1. Background

Since inception approximately 23 years ago, Airports Company South Africa Limited (ACSA) has

transformed into a focused, profitable and commercial enterprise that is market-driven and customer

service oriented. The principal ACSA sites comprise of major international airports namely O.R. Tambo

(ORTIA), Cape Town (CTIA) and King Shaka (KSIA). The other sites are, Bram Fischer (Bram), Upington

(UTN), Port Elizabeth (PLZ), East London Airport, George Airport, Kimberley Airport and the Corporate

Office.

The sustained growth in traffic over the years, coupled with a creative and performance focused

management and leadership team have contributed to the Company’s excellent financial performance

over time. This has enabled the Company to transform South Africa’s airports into world-class airports,

delivering value for customers, stakeholders, shareholders and employees.

ACSA is focused on creating and operating world-class airports measuring up to international standards.

Numerous international awards won by certain of its airports over the years confirm that the Company has

largely succeeded in this aim. This is also shown in the latest ratings for example, O.R. Tambo, Cape

Town and King Shaka international airports rated first, second and third respectively in the Best Airport

ACI-ASQ awards for Africa.

4.2. Purpose of this Tender

Within the Airports Company South Africa SOC Limited (ACSA), access to transport by employees has

been identified as a challenge. Airports are located in isolated areas where access to the public transport

network is either difficult or unavailable and some of ACSA shift structures make it impossible for

employees to use existing public transport.

To determine the extent of the challenges and possible interventions, ACSA conducted a study to

determine employees travel patterns and the transport modes they used to get to work. The study

indicated that:

o Employees live in locations where they have to travel extended hours,

o Employees walk long distances to get to work or to obtain a connection to the nearest transport

network,

o Some of ACSA shifts make it impossible for employees to use existing public transport.

After considering a number of options, ACSA approved an initiative to address the transport challenges

faced by the employees, which one is addressed by this tender as follows:

o A service between the terminal and the next available transport service;

o A shuttle service where public transport is not available to the nearest public transport;

o Outside normal working hours for shift workers.
