Scope of Services and Technical Requirements

The contractor will provide on-demand transportation services to support Frontex business continuity and operational mobility in Warsaw and its proximity. Services are primarily within Warsaw and surrounding counties; occasional services may be requested elsewhere in Poland.

Service scope:Passenger transfers between typical Frontex locations and other venues (e.g., hotels, restaurants) in Warsaw and surrounding counties, and cargo transport by van up to €3.5 T. Typical locations: Spire (Plac Europejski 6), New HQ (Raclawicka 136), Diuna (Tasmowa 7), and Warsaw Chopin Airport (Zwirki i Wigury 1). Transfers include persons and luggage. A vehicle adapted for persons with disabilities (including wheelchair loading) must be available upon request.

Response times and delivery:Maximum time to start service from request: 4 hours (passenger transfers in Warsaw and surrounding counties); 8 hours (goods transport up to €3.5 Tin Warsaw and surrounding counties); 24 hours (transfers outside Warsaw and surrounding counties). Each transfer includes up to 30 minutes of reserve time at no extra charge. Delivery of vehicle and driver to the departure point is at no additional cost. Services mainly occur on working days/daytime; night-time and non-working day services may be required.

Vehicle types and standards:Required fleets include: passenger car (4 pax), passenger van (5–8 pax), minibus (9–20 pax), bus/coach (>20 pax), cargo van (to €3.5 T, 2 pax). Vehicles must be registered in Poland, meet all Polish technical and environmental requirements, and carry registration and insurance documents on board. Insurance: OC (third-party), AC (auto casco), NNW (accident). Age limits: passenger vehicles max 5 years; cargo vans max 10 years. Equipment: air conditioning (preferably dual-zone) and all legally required equipment. Vehicles must be clean and in perfect technical condition; disinfection on request. Preference and scoring for fleets that are environmentally friendly (Euro 6 or higher, hybrids/electrics) and include premium brands where offered.

Contractor organisation and staff:Contractor must be an established passenger transport service provider active on the Polish market for at least five years and hold all relevant Polish licenses and permits. Key roles: Contract Manager (min 3 years experience in customer service contract management, incl. 1 year in transport services or similar; fluent Polish, at least B2 English) and Service Manager for each specific order (min 2 years customer service, incl. 1 year in transport services or similar; fluent Polish, at least B2 English). The two roles may be combined by one person if all combined requirements are met. Staff must sign Frontex non-disclosure statements.

Driver qualifications and conduct:Drivers must at all times: have a clean criminal record; be citizens of an EU country; hold a valid driving license issued in, or recognized in, Poland for the vehicle category; have all valid medical and occupational certificates required by Polish law; have at least 5 years experience driving the vehicle category used; have fluent Polish and at least communicative English (guidance B1 CEFR); possess very good knowledge of Warsaw and surroundings; be well-mannered, discreet, customer-oriented, and fit for duty; comply with highway code, driving time, H&S, and labour law. Frontex may request immediate replacement of non-compliant staff at the contractor’s cost, and may require exclusion of a driver with 24 hours’ written notice.

Ordering, communication, and cancellation:Frontex issues quarterly bulk order forms; individual Service Requests (by email using a Service Request Form) trigger specific orders. In urgent cases, telephone requests may occur, confirmed by email next working day. Contractor must acknowledge requests immediately and confirm within max 2h (passengers Warsaw), 4h (goods Warsaw), or 24h (elsewhere in Poland). Contractor must provide, no later than 12 hours before service start (or less per specified thresholds), driver name and mobile, vehicle model and plate, Service Manager contacts. Each Service Request accepted constitutes one order for a single dispatch fee. Pricing is per order based on kilometer rates; fixed-route/flat-rate pricing is not implied by the operational descriptions. Frontex reserves the right to cancel; a cancellation fee structure is to be proposed in the Financial Offer and is evaluated for quality and flexibility.

Service charges and pricing model:All-inclusive pricing (fuel, maintenance, insurance, parking and related fees). Separate day and night rates apply. Financial Proposal (Annex IV) requires: a non-zero dispatch fee per order and per-km rates by time band (Day: Mon–Fri 06:00–20:00; Night: other times) and vehicle type (Passenger car 4 pax; Passenger van 5–8 pax; Minibus 9–20 pax; Bus/Coach >20 pax; Cargo van to €3.5 T). Monthly reference volumes are fixed in the template to compute a single comparable Total Reference Price for financial scoring. Tenderers must indicate the percentage of petrol cost component for indexation. Any manipulation of structure, formulas, or omission of mandatory price fields renders the offer non-compliant.

Summary Explanation

This opportunity is a service procurement by Frontex to secure reliable, responsive, and high-quality transport services in Warsaw and its surrounding counties. The contractor will supply licensed drivers and compliant vehicles across passenger and light cargo categories, meeting strict operational, safety, legal, and confidentiality standards. The framework emphasizes operational readiness (rapid response times), robust management (dedicated Contract and Service Managers), and service quality (clean, modern, safe, and preferably low-emission fleets). The financial model uses a transparent per-order dispatch fee and per-kilometer rates by time band and vehicle type, evaluated via a locked reference basket to compute a single comparable price. Eligibility is broad across EU and certain associated economies, but all tenderers must demonstrate sufficient turnover, relevant project track record, and immediate access to qualified staff and compliant vehicles. The award balances quality (60%) and price (40%), with detailed technical scoring that rewards strong methodology, modern and green fleets, fair cancellation terms, and superior staff qualifications. The framework contract provides clear payment, indexation, and penalty mechanisms, ensuring predictability for both parties. In short, this tender seeks a professional transport partner capable of delivering dependable, safe, and sustainable mobility services for Frontex operations in Warsaw.
