Since March the Polish Post returned to service shipments court. For three consecutive years (2016 – 2018) will doręczała shipping and returns undelivered shipments for the Polish justice system.

In the public offering Polish Post defeated InPost – early supplier shipments court – making a very competitive offer. Valued his work on the 293.1 million zł, when InPost (to which the Polish Postal Group) offered 474.6 million zł.

In January, the president of PGP Witold Szczurek expressed his amazement too low an amount, which fell from the state provider. In his opinion, the proposed price was significantly lower than those offered by it on the retail market, as well as the public procurement market. “The scope and the high requirements set by the contracting authority in the tender, which is unheard of in any other order, in no way justify such low prices at such high management costs in the group of Polish Post,” suggested Szczurek.

for comparison, in the previous tender for the operation of the courts in 2013, the winning bid amounted to 580 million zł, and was concluded for a period of 2, not 3 years .

horrendous penalties

If the Polish Post wants to cash in on this cooperation, has solidly put up their duties. Otherwise they threaten its horrendous punishment. Prices for breach of contract, which stated in the contract, is surprisingly high. For delayed by 30 days after the lost letter or parcel supplier will pay 1850 zł penalty, and for incorrectly filled verse 50 zł.

the previous contract with InPost also take into account a list of sanctions, but they were much lower – in sequence for the aforementioned offenses provider threatened up to 145 zł, and 8.18 zł penalty. Prices penalties jumped nearly 1,300 percent.

During the tender Mail Poland appealed to the National Board of Appeal ( KIO), claiming that the penalties are too high. KIO said that the purchaser has the right to use such sanctions as they stand guard over the quality of services offered – writes the daily “Gazeta Wyborcza”.

As established “GW” only in 2014 InPost across the country handled more than 113 million shipments court. Consortium recognized the 30 thousand. claims and paid over 629 thousand. compensation. In turn, the last year for 117 million shipments was more than 80 thousand. complaint.

The result is not optimistic, but a spokesman for Polish Post Office, Zbigniew Baranowski in an interview with the daily argued, that attempt to compare the state provider to the private operator does not provide an objective view of reality, because the Post Office has developed a network of rich and prove to the market, also to use shipments court.
