About this tender

The procurement covers the collection, transport and treatment (zagospodarowanie) of municipal waste from the Selective Municipal Waste Collection Points (PSZOK) located in Podłęże 740 and Wola Batorska 572 within the territory of Gmina Niepołomice. The service is for the year 2027, as stated in the title. The detailed scope, including the technical description and how the service is to be performed, is set out in Annex No. 1 to the SWZ (Specyfikacja Warunków Zamówienia, the Polish tender specification). Annex 1 also contains a schedule of waste masses actually collected from the PSZOK in 2024–2026 (to July). The contracting authority states that these quantities are estimates only, to help bidders price the work, and do not oblige the contractor to handle an identical waste stream during the contract term. The place of performance is the territory of Gmina Niepołomice. The contract is subject to the labour-related requirements of art. 95 of the Polish Public Procurement Law (Pzp): the contractor or subcontractor must employ on an employment-contract basis the staff performing direct-cost activities, in particular drivers, loaders and the coordinator (or deputy). The draft contract annexed to the SWZ sets out the authority's control rights and sanctions for non-compliance. The notice also includes a standard clause on equivalence: where brand names, standards or other references are cited, equivalent solutions are permitted under art. 99(5) and 101(4) Pzp, provided they meet non-inferior technical parameters and the bidder proves equivalence in its offer.
