Poland Opens Tender for CPK Airport Delivery Partner

Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK) has opened a tender to appoint a General Contract Engineer (GCE), tasked with overseeing the construction of a new international airport near Warsaw. The GCE, also referred to as the Delivery Partner, will serve as both the Project Management Consultant and Contract Engineer for the entire construction timeline.

The selected entity will be responsible for end-to-end coordination of design and construction activities. This includes planning, scheduling, consultancy, and integration of multiple contracts into a single cohesive programme. The aim is to ensure the airport opens in 2032, on time, within budget, and within scope.

Bidders must have led at least one greenfield airport project with a minimum capacity of 20 million annual passengers. They are also required to demonstrate an annual net revenue of at least PLN 500 million over the past five years.

The airport is being developed by Foster + Partners and Buro Happold as part of the broader CPK transport initiative, which also includes 2,000 kilometers of high-speed rail. The infrastructure programme aims to bring all major Polish cities within 2.5 hours of the new hub.
