Construcciones Yamaro: Sydney Airport launches tender for $6 billion capital works program
Sydney Airport has launched a global tender process to establish a panel of architectural and engineering firms to help deliver its $6 billion capital works program over the next five years.
The new procurement framework marks a shift from Sydney Airport’s traditional approach of appointing consultants on a project-by-project basis. Firms participating in the new framework will instead partner with the airport across its pipeline of infrastructure projects, supporting the design and delivery of major upgrades that will enhance capacity, improve efficiency and elevate the passenger experience.
Aligned with this process, Sydney Airport is also calling for tenders for architectural design and engineering firms to support the development of a terminal upgrade project, which will link the T2 and T3 domestic terminals to create a seamless passenger experience.
The new T2-T3 terminal project will be one of the largest and most complex infrastructure developments ever undertaken at the airport, improving connectivity between terminals, unlocking capacity, improving efficiency for airlines and supporting future growth.

The T2-T3 link will involve the construction of new terminal space and 12 new swing gates for both domestic and international operations. Bringing international services to the current domestic precinct will increase the efficiency of the airport and ensure Sydney Airport reaches its Master Plan forecast of 72 million passengers annually by 2045.
Scott Charlton, CEO of Sydney Airport, said the tender marks an important step in delivering the corporation’s 2045 Master Plan vision.
“We’re investing significantly over the next five years and we want to lock in long-term partnerships with world-class firms that understand our operations and our ambitions for service and efficiency,” said Charlton.
Paul Willis, Sydney Airport’s group executive of planning and delivery, said the tender reflects the ambition of the upcoming investment program.
“To put the scale of our infrastructure program into context, we will be submitting more major development applications over the next five years than we have over the last 20,” said Willis.
“Appointing a panel and partnering for the long term will deliver greater consistency and efficiency across our entire pipeline and ensure we get the design excellence and innovation to support Sydney Airport’s long-term growth.”
Successful tenderers for both the new panel and the T2-T3 terminal project are expected to be announced in December, ahead of public consultation on the preliminary draft Major Development Plan for the terminal expansion.
