DZP advises winning consortium on toll system contract

DZP advised the winning consortium of Centrum Elektronicznych Usług Płatniczych eService Sp. z o.o., PKO Bank Polski S.A. and TECS Telecommunication & E-Commerce Solutions GmbH during a procedure conducted by the Ministry of Finance for the implementation of a 24/7 service for handling non-cash payments made by road toll system users.

Representatives of the winning consortium signed a contract with the Ministry of Finance worth more than PLN 20 million, which may be increased by a further PLN 5 million. The contract covers the provision of services involving the handling of non-cash road toll payments made by users of national roads managed by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways and ensuring that the payments are correctly transferred by the toll collector – the Head of the National Revenue Administration – to the National Road Fund. The contractor is responsible for, inter alia, collecting tolls on selected sections of motorways (A2 and A4), expressways and national roads managed by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways.

The client was advised by DZP lawyers Michał Gajdek, Senior Associate, and Tomasz Michalczyk, Counsel, from the public procurement team, who supported the consortium throughout the procurement procedure and represented it before the National Appeal Chamber. The advice was supervised by Katarzyna Kuźma, head of the team. The public procurement team is currently continuing to work with the client on the implementation of the contract signed with the Ministry.
