SIH Group has been awarded two tenders by the Airports Authority to provide security and cleaning services at Ben Gururion Airport (Natbag) for six years, totaling approximately 468 million shekels (about $135 million). The contracts include the continued operation of the scanner unit at terminal entrances and an expansion of the company's services to include cleaning in the airport's airside areas.
In the first tender, valued at around 216 million shekels, SIH was re-selected to operate the scanner unit, a service it has provided for the past six years. This unit is responsible for the initial screening of vehicles and passengers at terminal entrances to detect suspicious individuals and items, utilizing specially trained personnel.
The second tender, worth approximately 252 million shekels, marks the first time SIH will be responsible for cleaning the airside of Ben Gururion Airport. This represents a significant expansion for SIH, which has managed cleaning of public areas at the airport for the last seven years. The new contract involves 24/7 operations by hundreds of employees responsible for cleaning various areas, including curtain walls, carpets, restricted zones, catering areas, restrooms, and high-altitude cleaning.
These contract wins follow other recent significant agreements for SIH. In late October, the company announced its renewed contracts with the Israel Police for security at 30 police stations in the Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria regions, as well as security for the entrances and exits to the Western Wall complex. This five-year contract was valued at approximately 300 million shekels.
Additionally, SIH acquired Timcon, a company specializing in security and control systems, for 15 million shekels, aiming to broaden its technological operations.
