CPK has received two offers in its tender for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of the Baggage Handling System (BHS) for the long-awaited airport, which is currently on schedule to open by the end of 2032.
The two bids have come from both BEUMER Group Poland and Vanderlande Logistics (formerly known as Siemens Logistics) and each consist of three net amounts, one for the supply and installation of the BHS (expressed in EUR) and two for the maintenance and servicing of the system itself, with the basic part covering five years and an additional extension for a further five years (both of which have been expressed in PLN).
BEUMER’s submission includes an expected net remuneration for the supply and installation of the BHS of 198 million EUR, with the maintenance and servicing portion for the basic period sits at 116 million PLN, and 123 million PLN for the optional contract extension.
Vanderlande’s bid includes an expected net remuneration for the supply and installation of the BHS of 115 million EUR, with the maintenance and servicing portion for the basic period sits at 97 million PLN, and 93 million PLN for the optional contract extension.
CPK has stated that both bids fall within the anticipated budget for the system, with the tender committee now verifying and evaluating both proposals.
The tender was opened in April 2025, with three separate entities invited to submit bids for the procedure, which will see the installation of the BHS across 80,000 square metres of CPK, a total estimated length of more than 13km.
The system is set to be based on Individual Carrier System (ICS) technology, which utilises the transportation of luggage in trays.
Each prospective contractor was requested to participate in a dialogue following a verification process, which included an assessment of their experience, with one condition required being the successful commissioning of a BHS at an airport with a capacity of at least 30 million passengers annually within the past 25 years.
The invitation to submit bids also included a dialogue with potential contractors in which optimal solutions were developed regarding the contracts specification, as well as its technical and legal terms.
CPK recently launched a dialogue procedure to select the general contractor for the CPK Airport Passenger Terminal, having also begun preparations for the design documentation of the runways, taxiways, aprons and a number of airport access roads.
Work has also begun on the documentation for supporting facilities, including the Airport Operations Control Centre (AOCC), the air traffic control tower, and buildings for the Airport Fire Service.
