Omsk Airport Extends Security Contract Without Competitive Bidding

Omsk Airport has renewed its security contract with the Transport Security Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Transport. The deal, signed without competitive bidding, will run until March next year. The total funding allocated for these services amounts to 50.5 million rubles.

The agreement was awarded through a sole-source procurement process. This means no other companies were invited to bid for the contract.

Under the new terms, monthly payments will start at 1.8 million rubles from April to June. From July onwards, the amount will rise to 5 million rubles each month. The Transport Security Directorate's role includes protecting transport infrastructure from unauthorised access and potential threats. Omsk International Airport (OMS) remains responsible for its own perimeter security. No recent changes in security management or reports of new facilities, such as a 'Fyodorovka-Flughafen,' have been publicly confirmed in the region.

The extended contract ensures continued security oversight at Omsk Airport for the next year. Payments will gradually increase, reflecting the ongoing costs of safeguarding the facility. The arrangement maintains the existing structure of transport security in the region.
