Sydney Airport
14 Nov 2025
Sydney Airport has this week launched a global tender process to establish a panel of leading architectural and engineering firms to help deliver its $6 billion capital works program over the next five years.
The new procurement framework marks a shift from Sydney Airport’s traditional approach of appointing consultants on a project-by-project basis. Firms participating in the new framework will instead partner with the airport across its entire pipeline of infrastructure projects, supporting the design and delivery of major upgrades that will enhance capacity, improve efficiency and elevate the passenger experience.
Aligned with this process, Sydney Airport is also calling for tenders for an architectural design and engineering firm to support the development of the landmark terminal upgrade project, which will link the T2 and T3 domestic terminals to create a seamless passenger experience.
The new T2-T3 terminal project will be one of the largest and most complex infrastructure developments ever undertaken at the airport, improving connectivity between terminals, unlocking capacity, improving efficiency for airlines and supporting future growth.
The T2-T3 link will involve the construction of new terminal space and 12 new swing gates for both domestic and international operations. Bringing international services to the current domestic precinct will increase the efficiency of the airport and ensure Sydney Airport reaches its Master Plan forecast of 72 million passengers annually by 2045.
