CEPiK car registration system tender was flawed from beginning to end

NIK has started the inspection several months ago on the request of the deputies from Civic Platform (PO) and Law and Justice (PiS). In the tender for the CEPiK system the Ministry chose the cheapest offer from a consortium of Softbank and South African Face Technologies, which offered solutions unknown and never tested in Europe. NIK claims that during the tender, one of the tender commission members was illegally deprived of the right to vote. It also accused the Infovide consulting company of taking remuneration twice for the same work and excessively influencing the works of the tender commission. According to Gazeta Wyborcza, the Interior Minister rejects all of NIK's charges. Nevertheless, Gustaw Pietrzyk who was responsible for CEPiK at the Ministry has filed his resignation, which was rejected. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 24) E.B.
