PKP PLK to announce bids worth PLN 14 bln

State-controlled PKP PLK sees the chance to bring about an "ambitious plan" to call for tenders worth PLN 14 billion this year, said Andrzej Filip Wojciechowski, CEO of the company. "I think that it will be even more than PLN 11 billion, [the sum planned for this year]. The ambitious plan stipulates the announcement of bids worth PLN 14 billion," said Filipowski. Last week, Marcin Mochocki told the ISBNews agency, that the company has already called for bids worth PLN 6 billion. In September, PKP PLK launched its investment program dubbed the Great Offensive of Railway Investments. The main objective of the program is a "spectacular" improvement of conditions of cargo transports which will be possible to achieve by increasing the average speed of trains, among other things. PKP PLK is also planning to carry out renovations of cargo connections and other necessary works.
