At a high-level, the project aims to procure the supply, installation, commissioning, configuration, support,
and maintenance of the following Bill of Quantities (BOQ) in line with the 5-yearly replacement cycle that
ACSA follows with regards to its CUPPS and CUSS solutions. The implementation will follow a phased
approach whereby the phase 1 of the project will be the roll out of the CUSS equipment (103) and the Phase
2 will be the roll out of the CUPPS (5970) equipment.

ACSA has a 5-yearly replacement cycle pertaining to its CUPPS and CUSS solutions. The current CUPPS &
CUSS solution (including equipment, hardware, and software) is becoming outdated with installed equipment
becoming out-of-warranty with increased breakages plus support and maintenance on an upward trend.
ACSA aims to ensure that passengers are afforded the world-class services they have come to expect from
various ACSA airports while at the same time addressing following challenges.
# Challenge Description
1.3.1 Long Queues & Passenger Without up-to-date and functional CUPPS & CUSS solutions, long
Throughput queues can be experienced when processing passengers through
airports negatively affecting passenger processing times,
passenger experience & satisfaction
1.3.2 Asset Optimisation Expanding building infrastructure to provide additional capacity to
passengers and airlines is not always feasible from a spatial and
financial constraints point of view. CUPPS & CUSS solutions
allow ACSA to optimally use the existing building infrastructure
and delay capital investments through offering common-use
solutions that can be shared by airlines and passengers to
process

The following is out of scope for the Service Provider, but in scope for the project, as ACSA will ensure that
this is delivered through an independent consultant as a dependency on this project.
• Enabling work required to accommodate the CUPPS & CUSS installation, i.e., electrical, lighting, power,
etc.
• Associated IT Infrastructure (networks, core rooms, wire centres, telephony) is a dependency for this
project and ACSA IT will provide for such requirements.
• The areas where the CUPPS & CUSS solution will be installed, need to be redesigned to allow for
streamlined passenger queues, passenger processing, placing of airlines service agents & handlers to
process passengers, manage exceptions, etc. There will thus be a need for an Architect(s) that ACSA
will provide to redesign the affected areas and submit plans to municipality where necessary.
• The CUPPS & CUSS equipment that will be installed may need power supply and route for the power
cabling to be redesigned, the equipment might require essential power or external UPS. There will thus
be a need for an Electrical Engineer to assist with documenting all the electrical requirements and
giving expert advice, and ACSA will provide for such resource.
• There may be a need for drilling to create network routes, power cable routes, fix the equipment to the
floor and these tasks may have structural impact.
There will thus be a need for a Structural Engineer to assess this impact and give expert advice, ACSA
to provide such a resource.
• Mechanical Engineers and Quantity Surveyors may be required, and ACSA will provide for such a
resource
• There will be a need for doing some level of building alterations, removing old counters, installing new
counters, remove old equipment, breaking down of walls where needed, carpentry, painting, ceiling
adjustments, lighting, remove rubble, clean-up, building barriers to control queues, etc.
There will thus be a need for Building and Maintenance, Architectural Services resource well-versed
in carrying out such alterations to prepare the area both before and after the CUPPS & CUSS equipment
has been installed, ACSA to provide such resources.
