Spain invests €46.8m in ENAIRE digitalisation

The Spanish government is tendering a contract to ensure the development and digital management of around 100 applications used by ENAIRE in its role as Spain’s national ANSP.

The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility will launch a tender, through ENAIRE, worth €46.8m (excluding VAT), for a contract covering corrective and adaptive maintenance, as well as the implementation of new business management application development projects. This contract will support 98 applications used by state-owned ENAIRE, with an initial duration of two years, extendable to five. The aim is to ensure the proper functioning of all these applications, which support critical processes of the ANSP, as well as to adapt and update them in line with functional requirements, regulations, and technological changes necessary to maintain or improve their performance. It also guarantees the provision of services to the public or to internal and external customers through various platforms, such as the electronic headquarters – which allows users to apply for grants to support job placement and employment creation for people with disabilities – the ENAIRE website, the customer portal, the management of non-conventional operations (planea.enaire.es), the purchase of aeronautical information products (AIS), and more.

The contract also covers the need to develop new software applications to meet the demands of different business units, thereby continuing the process of automation, digitalisation, and innovation that may arise during the execution period of the contract or any extensions, within the field of business management.

The applications involved cover areas such as accounting, budgeting, internal and international auditing, communications, security, and air traffic management (ATM) systems operations, as well as key areas like social responsibility, quality, and the environment.

This contract also includes support for ENAIRE’s continued participation in the Technology Transfer Centre of the General State Administration, as well as ongoing backing for ENAIRE’s Flight Plan 2025 and the organisation’s future strategic plans.
