DAA contract award challenged

A company providing cleaning and security services at Dublin Airport has brought a legal challenge after its tender for a €25m contract to provide those and other services over the next five years was rejected.

Mr Justice Peter Kelly yesterday granted an application by Douglas Clarke, counsel for the Dublin Airport Authority, to fast-track the hearing of the action brought against the authority by OCS One Complete Solution Ltd, of Airways Industrial Estate, Dublin, over the awarding of the contract to another company.

The judge also granted an application to join as a notice party to the case the successful tenderer, Maybin Support Services (Ireland) Ltd, trading as Momentum Support, with registered offices at Textile House, Stephens Lane, Dublin.
