Analysis of Contractor’s Selection Criteria in Railway Projects

Abstract

Particular diligence in the preparation of documentation and conducting a tender procedure for construction works must be made by public contracting entities, who are subject to additional restrictions. In Poland, the largest public contracting entities are the sectoral ones.

The paper presents the analysis of tender offers for the execution of construction works or design and execution of construction works related to the reconstruction, construction and revitalization of railway lines, announced after the amendment to the Public Procurement Law on June 22, 2016.

The authors paid particular attention to the tender criteria applied and the requirements for the potential contractors for works in the field of railway infrastructure
