Jakubas calls for transparency in Wrocław ticket tender

The main investor in Mennica Polska Zbigniew Jakubas demanded transparency in a zł.200 million tender for creating a revolutionary system of payments in Wrocław - the Wrocław Urban Card. The main contender in this tender is a consortium headed by ASEC, a subsidiary of Israeli On Track Innovations concern.

The contest should be resolved within the next few days but there are plenty of controversies. Mennica claimed its offer has been discriminated against and threatened they call in the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, while apparently officials prefer the offer of ASEC.

According to Puls Biznesu, the offer of ASEC is worth about zł.220 million, while the offer of Mennica costs almost zł.180 million.

"We want an operator that will create a developing, modern and open system of payments for different services and not only public transportation tickets and parking meters. Mennica is unable to provide such solutions and thus its offer is worse than the one of ASEC. This is not preferring a contractor, but rational assessment of both offers," said one of the Wrocław city officials.
