The service providers to be appointed for operations and maintenance of ATCC include the following: • For Facilities Management, • For Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) control given the expected occupancy certification of the CAV Landside infrastructure, bulk services and the initial tenant building; and • For security management services.

There was an earlier understanding between the dtic , DPWI and the Waterkloof Air Force Base for accessing parts of the existing Airforce Base land for this purpose. • C-Side (or East Campus) Development CAV C-side or the East Campus, a portion of DPWI land, immediately to the east of CAV Landside and next to the R21 roadway was envisaged to (e.g.) house office buildings, conference facilities and possibly the head office complex of a corporate business entity. Initially Landside and Airside developments were planned to be implemented in phases. Both developments were to be made possible by the application of sourced funding that would be supportive of the industrial policy of the dtci , and would accordingly be aligned with the following key elements thereof: • Planning, development and operation of the Landside and Airside Developments of the CAV as an Aerospace and Defence Supplier Park, • Generally directed towards B-BBEE and Human Resource Development, • Focusing on the encouragement of new small and medium (SMME) sized entrants with the establishment of Multi-Tenant SMME Facilities, • Contributing to skills development; and • Directed towards innovation, technology development and support for associated infrastructure development. A comprehensive shared services model will be developed to support these industries by benefiting from economies of scale and agglomeration, improved processes, increased productivity, and cost competitiveness of localmanufacturers. These services are not exhaustive and include: • Central Shared Logistics Centre with a Bonded Facility and other contract logistics options are planned, • Shared services such as canteen, medical, conference facilities, security and landscaping, etc., will be provided from the Central Hub, • Infrastructure and facilities maintenance services will be available, • Access to a state-of-the-art ICT infrastructure, • “One-Stop-Shop” services related to all regulatory and government requirements, and • Market access support services were provided by government as part of international trade missions.
