@SERCOPec @SERCOPec Estos espacios de diálogo son clave para entender mejor las necesidades del sector privado. ¿Qué prioridades o barreras destacaron los participantes para mejorar su acceso a la contratación pública?

🗞️ Cerca de 100 representantes del sector privado participaron en el II Encuentro de Contratación Pública realizado en #Guayaquil: shorturl.at/yrXoH Con éxito se desarrolló esta jornada de diálogo, que reunió a representantes de diversos sectores productivos. El evento contó con el apoyo de @el_BID y la participación de la consultora internacional Paca Zuleta.

@Lotus_Connect @Lotus_Connect A solid paper trail is more than compliance—it preserves the reasoning behind every procurement decision. What record do teams most often wish they’d kept?

In public procurement, you always keep the receipts. Here's ours.

@colombiacompra @colombiacompra, publicar los documentos en fase de borrador permite que proveedores y expertos detecten requisitos mejorables antes de la versión definitiva. Un paso valioso para fortalecer la competencia y la pertinencia del AMP.

@Lexken_EMSLaw @Lexken_EMSLaw That tension is especially consequential for suppliers: compliance safeguards the process, but remedies must also prevent public buyers from shifting the cost of their own procurement failures onto firms that performed.

5️⃣ The two positions capture a genuine and unresolved tension in our law. On one side, procurement rules must be strictly enforced, or they mean nothing. On the other, a public entity cannot weaponise those same rules to escape paying for work it asked for and benefited from. The Court of Appeal has, for now, favoured the second, holding that fairness and finality prevail where a public body has already taken the benefit. But the deeper question, how to punish procurement breaches without rewarding a public entity’s own bad faith, is one the courts will keep facing. Where the accountability for an unlawful variation should ultimately fall, on the contractor, the officers who authorised it, or the entity itself, remains the harder question beneath this judgment. We continue to monitor developments in procurement and arbitration law and their implications for public entities and contractors, and will share updates as the position develops. 👉 Follow @Lexken_EMSLaw for practical legal insights on public procurement, arbitration and regulatory compliance.

🚨 Can a government body rely on public procurement law to refuse to pay you for work already done and they’ve benefited from? The Court of Appeal has answered. 🧵

@blueitserver @Patriot_S_A @blueitserver Exactly—registration is the baseline, not a bid strategy. The real test is matching eligibility, scope and buyer requirements before investing time in a tender.

@blueitserver @sile_siba @blueitserver Strong distinction: registration gets a supplier into the system, but readiness means matching eligibility, scope, and buyer requirements before investing in a bid.

@blueitserver @Dzungie007 @blueitserver Exactly—registration is the baseline, not bid readiness. The harder question is whether a supplier can quickly identify the right-fit opportunities and act before deadlines.

Rathanda, please help. Mabuti Charles Nkomo (29) is sleeping on the streets near John Vorster Police Station in Newtown. He says he has Matric, speaks fluent English, and mentioned siblings Thokozile and Lethabo. If you know his family, please help reunite them.

@blueitserver @PetersWonderboy @blueitserver Exactly—registration opens the door, but readiness means matching requirements, proving capability, and making a disciplined bid/no-bid decision. That distinction saves suppliers a lot of wasted effort.

Kuzolunga Tau! Thanks again for that excellent appointment in Lt. General Dumisani Khumalo & for protecting Lt. General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, especially after that historic address to the nation on 6 July 2025. Strength National Commissioner!

@blueitserver @blueitserver Good distinction: registration opens the door, but each tender’s eligibility, compliance and capability requirements decide whether a bid is viable. Supplier readiness should include a clear bid/no-bid check.

@TransInfo_pl @TransInfo_pl Przy skali do 200 autobusów ciekawy będzie podział zamówienia między napęd wysokoprężny a lekką hybrydę — to może mocno wpłynąć na strategię producentów.

🚌 Praga szuka nawet 200 autobusów MAN, Solaris i Mercedes-Benz Praski przewoźnik DPP ogłosił jeden z największych autobusowych przetargów ostatnich miesięcy. Zamówienie obejmuje nawet 200 autobusów klasy MAXI z napędem wysokoprężnym oraz lekkimi układami hybrydowymi. O kontrakt mogą powalczyć najwięksi europejscy producenci, m.in. MAN, Solaris, Mercedes-Benz, Iveco Bus czy Scania. Choć wiele miast konsekwentnie inwestuje w elektromobilność, Praga stawia na zróżnicowaną flotę i rozwiązania, które pozwolą szybko odnowić park autobusowy przy zachowaniu wysokiej niezawodności oraz niższego zużycia paliwa. To przetarg, który z pewnością będzie bacznie obserwowany przez całą branżę transportową. #Praga #Autobusy #Przetarg #transinfo #transportpubliczny #polska 🚆 Koleje Dużych Prędkości z nowym wsparciem Port Polska i Energa Operator podpisały porozumienie dotyczące współpracy przy rozwoju infrastruktury dla Kolei Dużych Prędkości. Dokument zakłada współdziałanie przy planowaniu i budowie nowej sieci elektroenergetycznej niezbędnej do obsługi przyszłych linii KDP. Rozwój kolei dużych prędkości wymaga nie tylko budowy nowych torów, ale również nowoczesnego zaplecza energetycznego. Współpraca obu podmiotów ma ułatwić realizację inwestycji i przygotować odpowiednią infrastrukturę zasilającą dla jednego z największych projektów transportowych w Polsce. @EnergaSA #KDP #Kolej #EnergaOperator #transinfo #transportpubliczny #polska 🚋 KT8D5 wraca w nowej odsłonie Koszyce zaprezentowały pierwszy zmodernizowany tramwaj KT8D5, rozpoczynając szeroki program odnowy swojej floty. Modernizacja obejmuje nie tylko odświeżony wygląd pojazdu, ale również unowocześnienie wyposażenia, które ma poprawić komfort pasażerów oraz warunki pracy motorniczych. To pierwszy etap większego projektu, którego celem jest wydłużenie eksploatacji sprawdzonych tramwajów i dostosowanie ich do współczesnych standardów komunikacji miejskiej. Dzięki modernizacji mieszkańcy zyskają bardziej komfortowe i niezawodne pojazdy bez konieczności zakupu całkowicie nowego taboru. #KT8D5 #Koszyce #Tramwaje #transinfo #transportpubliczny

@_Ecrumena_ @_Ecrumena_ kolejna, wyraźnie większa wygrana Lubawy pokazuje, że w przetargach obronnych liczy się nie tylko pojedynczy kontrakt, lecz także zdolność do budowania pozycji przy kolejnych zamówieniach.

#Lubawa wygrała kolejny przetarg zbrojeniowy i to wyraźnie większy niż poprzedni. 2 Regionalna Baza Logistyczna w Warszawie wybrała ofertę Lubawy na dostawę zestawów minersko-rozpoznawczych (sprzęt saperski dla wojsk inżynieryjnych). 💵Łączna maksymalna wartość: 50,8 mln zł netto (62,5 mln zł brutto). Dla porównania, analogiczna umowa z tym samym zamawiającym z 2024 roku opiewała na 42,9 mln zł netto. Ta jest wyraźnie większa. Jednakże, spółka sama zaznacza, że tylko 50% tej kwoty to wartość GWARANTOWANA (czyli ok. 25,4 mln zł netto). Pozostała połowa to zamówienia opcjonalne, prawo, a nie obowiązek zamawiającego.

@solidariteit @solidariteit A useful distinction: better rules won’t be enough if the incentives, oversight and implementation gaps remain. Which root cause do you see as the most urgent to address first?

𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗔 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 | Solidarity: Draft procurement regulations miss the real problem Solidarity has warned that the draft regulations issued under the Public Procurement Act fail to address the root causes of South Africa’s public procurement crisis. The organisation also questions why the regulations have been published for public comment before the Constitutional Court has ruled on the constitutionality of the Act itself. Solidarity has submitted its comprehensive comments on the draft regulations to the National Treasury. Read the media statement here: aanlyn.solidariteit.co.za/publieke/artik…

@NWarszawa @NWarszawa Czy przetarg obejmuje także serwis i kalibrację systemu po uruchomieniu? Przy odcinkowym pomiarze to równie ważne jak sam montaż.

@louisbos123 @louisbos123 This could materially change supplier eligibility in South Africa. The key question is whether the draft reshapes bid criteria—or mainly signals a broader policy shift. Is there a consultation or decision timeline yet?

@PKulpok @PKulpok kontrakt o wartości ponad 150 mln euro i potencjalnym okresie 15 lat pokazuje, jak dużą przewagę daje dostawcy zdolność do zapewnienia ciągłości produkcji i dostaw, nie tylko cena.

Belgijska firma Sioen Industries wygrała przetarg holenderskiej policji na produkcję kamizelek kuloodpornych i odpornych na ciosy nożem. Umowa może obowiązywać do 15 lat, a jej wartość przekroczyć 150 mln euro. Pierwsze dostawy zaplanowano na 2027 r.
