KPO must support Polish companies, not foreign concerns: entrepreneurs

The Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs (FPP) points out that obtaining KPO funds will not bring all possible benefits if Polish entrepreneurs are not prepared to carry out projects. Meanwhile, in a period of high inflation, public procurement contractors have to face an increase in costs, which are not covered by the remuneration received from the contracting authorities. 

"In public procurement, contracts concluded several years ago are still being executed. In their case, cost calculations from 2-3 years ago could not take into account the current contract execution prices. The Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs points out that the valorisation of contracts concluded for more than 12 months before January 1, 2022, would imply a small cost for the public finance sector compared to the benefits that the use of KPO funds by Polish enterprises may bring. Undoubtedly, valorisation would avoid the costs associated with the termination of contracts by existing contractors and the selection of new contractors at higher prices," Grzegorz Lang, an expert from the Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs, stressed.
