Tender issue

It is expected that the zł.50 million tender for the construction of the Czeszów-Wrocław pipeline, announced by the Polish Oil and Gas (PGNiG), will end up in the courts after the UZP President, Tomasz Czajkowski, accused the company of infringing regulations. Last year UZP insisted that a tender run by the Łódź  Medical University be cancelled. The university resisted and signed an agreement with a contractor. The case was taken to the regional court in Łódź but has not been settled yet. In 2004 inspections found that the law was broken in every seventh investigated case, while so far this year the inspectors have questioned every tenth tender.
