KKLW, working with the Jerzykowski i Wspolnicy law firm, represented a consortium of Porr and Gulemark oraz Energopol-Szczecin S.A. in a tender for the construction of a tunnel connecting two islands, Uznam and Wolin, in northwestern Poland. The value of the contract is approximately PLN 800 million (EUR 190 million).
The contracting authority (the City of Swinoujscie, represented by the General Director for National Roads and Motorways in Szczecin) awarded the contract to an Astaldi consortium. KKLW and JiW pointed out that the winning offer, as well as a second one proposed by a Toto consortium, were incompatible with tender specifications.
Poland’s Public Procurement Office agreed, noting that the offers cannot be modified, meaning that the contracting authority will have to reevaluate the offers and reject those that are incompatible with tender specifications.
The KKLW team was led by Partner Jacek Kosinski and included Legal Counsel Pawel Jadczak and Lawyer Lukasz Goniak.
The JiW team was led by Partner Jaroslaw Jerzykowski.
