- An expert suggests Polish companies could be favored in tenders for the construction of Poland's Central Communication Port (CPK).

- However, he emphasized that quality and price must remain the primary criteria, not the nationality of the contractor.
Polish companies may have an advantage in bidding for the construction of Poland's ambitious Central Communication Port (CPK), according to legal expert Michał Liżewski. Liżewski, a specialist in public procurement and construction law at Legally.Smart, suggests that the CPK company could introduce specific provisions designed to favor domestic firms.
This potential preference for Polish businesses comes amid significant investment and development plans for the CPK, which aims to be a major transportation hub in Central Europe. The inclusion of such clauses could stimulate the national economy and bolster the capabilities of local construction companies.
However, Liżewski also stressed that national origin should not be the sole determinant in the selection process. He asserted that the quality of the offer and its price must remain the paramount considerations. This balanced approach aims to ensure that while supporting domestic industry, the project ultimately secures the best value and highest standards.
CPK może wprowadzić zapisy faworyzujące polskie firmy, ale priorytetem musi być jakość i cena oferty, a nie narodowość wykonawcy
