Key Takeaway:

ZTM procurement problem: Why did only one (local) vendor bid on Warsaw’s large fare-system tender request?

Key Data:

ZTM only has a budget of PLN 315.5 million (€73.5 million) (US$83.7 million) for the project. The Mint’s bid, when including VAT, came in over that budget at PLN 348.4 million.

Organizations Mentioned:

• ZTM (Warsaw)
• Cubic
• Conduent
• Ridango
• Orange Poland
• Mera Systems
• Atos
• Mennica Polska (Mint)

Warsaw public transport authority ZTM has yet to award a contract to the lone vendor that bid on its tender request, in what industry suppliers and market observers have said is a flawed procurement model.

A ZTM spokesman told Mobility Payments it is still “analyzing” the sole offer to build and operate its planned fare system that asks the winning vendor to front the costs for more than 10,000 new validators, develop a back office and pay for other capital expenditures.
