About this tender

The buyer, "Koleje Małopolskie" Sp. z o.o., a rail carrier, is procuring the sale of electricity and distribution services for traction purposes, delivered to its trains connected to the distribution operator's network via the overhead contact system. The contract period is 2027–2031, with an option to extend for 2032. The buyer's traction vehicles draw power from the Distribution System Operator (OSD) network without metering equipment, so consumption is settled on the basis of train service work under tariff group Bt21. Where vehicles are fitted with traction energy measuring devices, those readings may be used for settlement only after technical acceptance by the OSD under the applicable IRiESD requirements. The list of vehicles covered is set out in Annex 1 to the IPU (Instructions for Bidders). If the list is incomplete at contract signature, the buyer will supply the remainder after the contract is concluded. The supplier must declare in its tender form that it holds a valid, current GUD-k agreement with the distribution operator (PGE Energetyka Kolejowa Operator sp. z o.o.) and can provide a comprehensive service under tariff group Bt21. The excerpt provided does not include the full scope of deliverables, pricing structure, or delivery terms.
