As it will still be necessary to wait for the official publication of the verdict, it is already known that a large part of the charges have been taken into account as specialists from KGP already changed the provisions in this tender.

Some of the complaints are:

  • The deadline for submitting bids in relation to the level of complexity is too short
  • There should be unrealistic deadlines for the contractor with excessive obligations and risks.
  • There should be a horrendous amount of contractual penalties be involved, that could reach  even 25% of the contract value.
  • It looks like there are preferences for one manufacturer by requiring the use of specific functionalities.
  • Timeline for preparation of a Technical Project (90 days) is to short
