Britain’s leading airport operator, BAA, has appointed Labyrinth Logistics Consulting Ltd to support them in the tender of one of their major logistics operations: the Heathrow Consolidation Centre (HCC). The HCC was established over 10 years ago as part of BAA’s environmental programme: by providing consolidation of retail goods sold at Heathrow it reduces vehicle movements in and around the airport. It also plays a major role in Heathrow’s security processes for the retail sector.
Dennis Darwent, procurement manager at BAA, says: ‘Labyrinth brings a wealth of experience to this project both in terms of their logistics procurement expertise and also their understanding of the Heathrow Airport environment from other projects in this area.’ Labyrinth director Jo Godsmark added ‘The unique nature and scale of the HCC operation demands careful specification and tender preparation and evaluation and we are delighted to be supporting BAA on this project.’
The HCC tender will be carried out through the OJEU process and formal notification will be published on the OJEU website during the autumn.
