Polish entrepreneurs criticize price-only public procurement, urge quality criteria

Marek Kowalski, President of the Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs, publicly criticizes the Polish public procurement system for its over-reliance on the lowest price criterion, arguing it undermines safety, quality, and delivery speed. He notes the issue has persisted for 30 years, signaling a long-standing policy concern. The statement is an opinion piece, not a policy change, but reflects ongoing domestic debate over procurement reform.
