Hungary: MAV turned to court over the cancelled GSM-R tender
Hungarian Railways MAV turned to court to appeal against the decision of Public Procurement Arbitration Committee, which fined the state-owned company HUF 3m for declaring the tender for GSM-R as invalid.
The HUF 58.8 worth tender was announced to supply a GSM system and install it over three years, then operate the system over the next three years. By the deadline in October 2006, two bids were submitted, Nokia Siemens Networks and Kapsch Nortel.
The final offer of Nokia Siemens was declared invalid by the ordering party. Nokia Siemens Networks then turned to Public Procurement Arbitration Committee, which declared both of the reasons given by Hungarian Railways for declaring the offer invalid as illegal. One was that the equipment in the offer was not capable of simultaneously recording 200 calls and the other objected to the deadline for putting the system into operation.
