It's a full disaster, a failure. There were loud announcements and it came out like always. The National Food Group has de facto already lost, and as any people claim with moles the tender for the lease of a grain terminal in Gdynia said Dr Daniel Alain Korona in the Life of the Capital.
By disclosing a tender score for each of the companies, the Crown de facto revealed the award of the tender and this 3 months before its formal announcement. As the Capital Life says:
The formal settlement of the fresh tender (signing of the lease agreement) should take place by 31 December 2024 (conditional selection of the tenant The Board of the Maritime Port of Gdynia plans to proceed with the beginning of October 2024). However, the final offer must receive corporate approval and approval of the infrastructure department. But present on the basis of published offers, it can be stated that it will not be the National Food Group.
On Tuesday, September 17, final tenders were opened in tender for the lease of the grain terminal in Port Gdynia. All 5 entities that submitted the first offer in July besides submitted a final offer.
| tender parameters | KGS | MONDRY | Speed, Tridente, Astar | OT PORT GDYNA | Szczecin Bulk Terminal, Tapini, Ribera | MAX. CCIT. |
| monthly amount of fixed rent (zł) | 1.315.194,54 | 1.423.667,60 | 1.125.015 | 1.690.000 | 1.599.058,82 | 70 |
| Transhipment rate 1 tonne of cargo (evil) | 2.10 | 2.82 | 2,20 | 1,50 | 1,50 | 10 |
| minimum yearly transhipment (tonne) | 2.200,000 | 2.400.000 | 2,000,000 | 2.450,000 | 2.500,000 | 5 |
| storage capacity (tonne) | 179,000 | 201,000 | 167.500 | 174,000 | 200,000 | 5 |
| Transhipment instalment (tonne/hour). | 2.400 | 1.200 | 2.500 | 3,000 | 2.800 | 6 |

I made a point assessment according to the rule of proportionality of the tender parameters (i.e. dividing the bid by the highest of the tenders examined and multiplying by the number of points per criterion and then summing up the results obtained). specified a regulation shall apply in tender.
If we take into account the first 3 parameters of OT Port Gdynia gained 80 points, Consortium Szczecin Bulk Terminal – 77 points, Mondry – 74 points, KGS – 66 and consortium Speed, Trisdente, Astar – 58 points. If this rule were applied to all criteria and sub-criteria (without others) mentioned above, OT would have obtained 90 points, Bulk Terminal 87, Mondry 81, KGS – 76 a velocity – 68.
However, the tender specification provides for a different method of calculating points for the sub-criteria: terminal capacity and transhipment instalments and others (environmental protection, investment schedule)
The evaluation is done by assigning points from 0 to 7 (0 – worse, 1- are identically good, 4 – clearly better, 7 – incomparably better). Following an assessment by each associate of the committee, the points allocated shall be summarily and averaging and the proportionality rule shall be applied thereafter. specified a procedure allows a bit of manipulation of the result, as the number of points awarded is based on the data submitted but creates a certain amount of discretion.
According to the evaluation carried out, taking into account the sub-criteria (without environmental protection and timetable), OT should get 89 points, Bulk Terminal Consortium 83 points, Mondry – 79, KGS – 68 a velocity Consortium – 59.
This assessment may disagree from the final by respective points, as there is any discretion in the way the members of the committee allocate points erstwhile assessing the sub-criteria (this applies to 15 points in total). This means that it is possible that 1 company will get a small little and another somewhat more points. Either way, the KGB has no chance of winning a tender for the lease of a grain terminal, and the fight will take place between OT Port Gdynia and the Szczecin Bulk Terminal Consortium (with an indication alternatively on the former)
The KGB submitted besides weak an offer for competition, and so lost again. Again, as it turned out, she had already participated in the cancelled tender, though indirectly. KGS then began talks with the consortium of Speed, Tridente, Astar and NTA in November 2022, just after the announcement of the tender. The discussions ended with the notarial signing of an investment agreement.
The Crown indicates that the KGS' failure occurred despite an effort to mark the full tender:
The participants in the procedure argued in May that the setting up of a fresh tender would give unfair advantage to fresh entities, including the National Food Group, which on the basis of the tenders in the erstwhile tender would be able to measure the possibilities of competition and thus overcome their offers.
Moreover, as stated at the session of the Parliamentary Committee on Maritime Affairs and Inland Shipping in February – the National Food Group was to receive over PLN 800 million from the National Centre for Agriculture Support for “to become a grain operator”, but the funds were suspended because, as Deputy Minister of State Assets Zbigniew Ziejewski stated, “a number capital appealed to court.”
Why with specified an advantage in the proceedings – information (due to the cancellation of the erstwhile tender), government support, financial resources, KGS lost the tender?
Let us remind you that the president of the Board of KGS Marek Zagórski informed about plans in October investments in the grain terminal for export of Polish grain by sea, in the case of Ukrainian grain could make money on handling and transit, or storage. https://www.dlahandlu.pl/detal-hurt/national-food-group-will-take-over-such-network-trade,133372.html
Nothing came out of this large plan (and not just out of it).
More importantly, he revealed the defeat of government ministers Donald Tusk, who engaged on the KGB side in this terminal game:
This is besides an image failure of the government, whose ministers and politicians of the ruling option were loudly active on the side of the National Food Group. https://rzyciestolicy.com.pl/po-co-kgsowi-terminal-bovine-in-port-in-when/
‘My opinion is that specified agroport should be created and totally under the supervision of the Treasury Company ... – We should have full control of what is happening there and the operator of the agroport should besides be a company of the State Treasury, a company that will depend on us, on Poles and will act according to the business. Not as Law and Justice yet did, that the main origin of who will lease the port will be the financial factor; the 1 who will pay more" (Michael Kołodziejczak)
The government wants the port in Gdynia to be taken over by the National Food Group... We want to grow this port, we have an thought of how to do it, there's money for it, we're ready to talk with another departments and implement the project. – said Deputy Minister Zbigniew Ziejewski.
Finally, he cites circulating public questions:
How about this situation, Deputy Minister Zbigniew Ziejewski (state assets) to which the National Food Group is subject? What does the Chairman, the Board and the KGB Supervisory Board say? Will Vice president Wojciech Pomadaj intend to sacrifice himself in connection with the failure of the tender? What about KGS president Mark Zagórski and Elewarru president Jack Łukaszewicz? After all, the grain terminal was to be the flagship investment of the KGB, by which the president of Zagórski boasted, and by which the name of export grain. Is the transfer of Elewarr's office to Malbork an intention to gain ministerial favour (Malbork is in the Minister's district), in the event that the tender for the terminal has been lost, the acquisition of cereals is weak as the Company's financial result?
