- The tender of Tramwaje Warszawskie for the delivery of as many as 160 low-floor trams is gaining momentum, and the interest of contractors translates into specific changes in the documentation - reports the industry portal Transinfo.pl.

By 7 July this year, the contracting authority had published almost 300 responses to bidders' questions , introducing fourteen sets of changes and clarifications to the content of the tender specification (TSZ).

- The most important corrections announced by the Public Procurement Office of Warsaw Trams in July include, among others: postponing the deadline for submitting offers to July 22, 2025, 10:00 a.m. , specifying the requirements for integration with systems, changing the requirements for sound alarm systems (including extending the possibility of adjusting the volume and tone from the central application) - lists Transifo.pl.
