Background
Geneva Airport's management system currently runs on Oracle E-Business Suite, supplemented by numerous external applications. The airport had launched an open tender on 15 October 2025 to replace it. On 7 January 2026, it discontinued that procedure. According to the official notice, no bid met the requirements and the number of bids was insufficient for effective competition.
The key points
Geneva Airport has awarded German software company SAP a contract worth 11.3 million francs excluding VAT for a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The award was decided on 4 November 2026 and published on the Simap public procurement platform, according to ICTjournal.
The contract was awarded by direct award, without a new tender. Geneva's public procurement regulations allow this route when a tender produces no admissible bid. Named GVA Core, the project aims to harmonise management processes and improve the company's performance. The SAP solution may replace all or part of the current environment.
Key figures
- 11.3 million francs : contract value excluding VAT
- 12.2 million francs : amount including VAT
- 4 November 2026 : date of the award to SAP
What it means for businesses
