Infrastructure in Poland
Poland stands midway in its massive EU-funded programme to roll out a modern network of transport infrastructure. The current EU financial perspective 2014-2020 has earmarked €27.4 billion to be spent on infrastructure and environmental protection in Poland.
How is this money to be spent? How can UK businesses tap into the business opportunities that arise from transport infrastructure projects? What are the barriers that can face UK firms trying to win contracts in Poland?
This event will bring together public and private sectors to discuss issues facing contractors bidding for tenders to design and supervise construction work to discuss optimal ways of delivering better value for money. Representatives of the Ministry of Development, Poland's highways agency, GDDKiA, railway infrastructure operator, PKP PLK S.A., public procurement agency, UZP and other relevant public sector players will be invited to take part in a dialogue with the aim of improving bilateral understanding of the difficulties as well as the opportunities in this sector.
During the 2007-2013 financial perspective, focus on lowest price has led to many firms going out of business and/or projects being delivered late and then needing immediate remedial work. The event draws on the UK's long experience on procuring transport infrastructure projects, and will highlight UK best practice. Case studies will show the UK government works with contractors to ensure 'win-win' outcomes in procurement.
