Major Polish construction company 3302 Budimex has said that only one out of its 15 road tender bids submitted this year to the 3519 Polish General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) has had the lowest price.
In 2014, its bidding effectiveness stood at one in four.
Budimex said it is concerned that a price war is returning to the Polish construction market. Differences in the prices proposed by bidders are huge and that prices offered by its rivals are too low and are unrealistic.
It has been confirmed by National Congress of Governors or Road Districts (Ogolnopolski Kongres Drogownictwa) that tender prices are lower so far this year than in 2014.
The GDDKiA is by law allowed to question bids which are more than 30% below the estimated value of a project.
