Webinar "Sanctions Compliance in Action – International Standards, Real Risk Reduction"
27 August 2025
We are pleased to announce that we represented Centralny Port Komunikacyjny sp. z o.o. (“CPK”) before the National Chamber of Appeals in sectoral procurement proceedings conducted under the competitive dialogue procedure entitled “Construction of a passenger terminal with equipment, technical infrastructure and land development” as part of the investment project entitled “Construction of the Central Communication Port with equipment and facilities necessary for its operation”, procedure No.: FZA.2510.8.2025/MK/21.
The subject of the appeal proceedings was eight appeals concerning the description of needs and requirements in the tender documentation, in relation to which nearly fifty motions were submitted to join the proceedings. The appellants made several dozen allegations concerning, in particular, the conditions for participation in the proceedings and the selection criteria. In the course of the appeal proceedings, some of the appeals were withdrawn as a result of changes made to the contract documents by CPK, while the remaining appeals were dismissed in their entirety by the National Chamber of Appeals in its judgment of 21 July 2025.
The law firm’s services included recommendations on amendments to the tender documents, preparation of responses to appeals, and representation at the hearing.
This positive judgment will enable CPK to continue the proceedings in accordance with the original assumptions. The next stage of the proceedings will be a competitive dialogue, to which a maximum of five contractors who meet the conditions for participation and obtain the highest number of points under the selection criteria will be admitted.
The construction of the CPK passenger terminal is one of the largest infrastructure investments in Poland in decades, and the project itself is one of the largest (in terms of estimated contract value) construction projects in Poland.
We would like to congratulate the lawyers from our Public Procurement practice who participated in this project on their impressive success: Bartłomiej Wachta (partner), Michał Nawrocki (senior associate) and Kacper Wróblewski (associate).
