Budimex is still interested in implementing projects in the public-private partnership (PPP) form. After the pandemic struggles in 2019–2021, the PPP market in Poland had to face new challenges, such as the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, high inflation, rising prices of raw materials and construction materials, and lack of funds from the EU Reconstruction Fund.
In 2022, 10 PPP contracts were signed with a total value of PLN 269 million (10 contracts were signed in 2021, worth PLN 172 million). 18 contracts were also initiated (in 2021- 24) with a total value of PLN 1.2 billion (PLN 627 million in 2021).
As in previous years, last year’s PPPs were mainly developed by local governments. The Database of Potential PPP Projects contained 56 projects, 33 (61%) of which were in the pre-procedure phase, while the remaining 21 (39%) were at the stage of ongoing procedures. The majority of possible projects concerns transport infrastructure (12), public buildings (11) as well as sports and tourism (8).
Among the projects under preparation and in the course of the procedure, there are two government projects supported by the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy: the construction of the Outer Port in the Port of Gdynia worth nearly PLN 4.4 billion, and the construction and maintenance of state archives worth about PLN 344 million.
There are still few PPP tenders for highvalue projects on the Polish market.
