Suppliers

We buy anything from business stationery, courier services and uniforms to air bridges, runway de-icers and civil engineering.

And with an annual spend in the region of £1.5 billion across all our airports – Heathrow, Stansted, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Southampton and Aberdeen – we leverage our buying power to deliver the maximum value for money for our business.

We have dedicated teams working with each airport to understand their purchasing requirements, with expert knowledge of a market or group of markets including construction and engineering, utilities and fuel, consultancy services, baggage handling systems, facilities support, office supplies and services, IT and telecommunications, marketing and communication services, and travel and transport.

Expert knowledge of the supplier markets allows our teams to identify the best suppliers from which to purchase goods and services and then manage the tendering and negotiation process to appoint those suppliers for BAA.

Further information

We invest time to foster and maintain effective relationships with all our suppliers, so whether you are keen to become a new supplier, or an existing supplier with specific queries, our procurement website is here to help you along the away, smooth our working relationship and answer your questions.
