Opportunity description

1. The subject matter of the contract is the Purchase, under a comprehensive agreement, of gaseous fuel and its distribution for the needs of the organizational units of the Pomorskie Voivodeship. 2. The sale of Gaseous Fuel will take place under the conditions specified by the provisions of the Act of 10 April 1997, Energy Law (i.e. Journal of Laws of 2026, item 43) and the implementing provisions issued on its basis, in particular: the Regulation of the Minister of Economy of 2 July 2010 on the detailed conditions for the operation of the gas system (i.e. Journal of Laws of 2025, item 1382, as amended), the Regulation of the Minister of Energy of 15 March 2018 on the detailed principles for setting and calculating tariffs and settlements in gaseous fuel trading (i.e. Journal of Laws of 2021, item 280, as amended), as well as the Act of 26 January 2022 on special measures aimed at protecting gaseous fuel consumers in connection with the situation on the gas market (Journal of Laws of 2022, item 202, as amended), and in accordance with the DSO’s gaseous fuel tariff, as well as the provisions of the Civil Code, the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of the Contract Terms Specification and the rates contained in the tender form for the given offtake point. 3. The purchase will take place on the basis of a comprehensive agreement concluded between the Contractor and the Contracting Authority. 4. A detailed description of the subject matter of the contract is set out in Annex No. 1 to the SWZ and in the draft contractual provisions constituting Annex No. 2 to the SWZ. 5. The law applicable to this contract (including the agreement concluded as a result of this procedure and the assessment of the legal effects of all documents in this contract) is Polish law, taking into account European Union law. 6. The subject matter of the contract has not been divided into lots: The subject matter of the contract has established quality parameters specified by the Energy Law Act. For economic reasons, the subject matter of the contract has not been divided into lots. If the subject matter of the contract were divided into lots, achieving the effect indicated above would not be possible due to the lack of economies of scale, which, for a potential contractor, results from ensuring the sale, during the performance period of the subject matter of the contract, of an attractive, relatively large volume of gaseous fuel under a stable, secure contract. Furthermore, another reason for not dividing this contract into lots is the identity of its subject matter, its temporal identity and the possibility of performing the contract by one contractor. Dividing the contract into lots would certainly result in excessive organizational costs and, given the large number of gaseous fuel offtake points, also excessive technical difficulties. It should additionally be stated that the need to coordinate activities in the event of division into lots would jeopardize the proper performance of the entire contract. 7. The Contracting Authority does not reserve the possibility of applying for the contract exclusively to Contractors referred to in Art. 94 of the Pzp Act. 8. The Contracting Authority does not permit the submission of a variant tender referred to in Art. 92 of the Pzp Act, i.e. a tender providing for a method of performing the contract different from that specified in this SWZ. 9. In all provisions of the SWZ and its annexes in which the Contracting Authority, due to the impossibility of describing the subject matter of the contract in a sufficiently precise and comprehensible manner, refers to standards, technical assessments, technical specifications or technical reference systems, or in which trademarks, patents, sources of origin or specific processes characterizing the products or services supplied by a specific contractor are indicated, in accordance with Art. 99(5) and Art. 101(4) of the Pzp Act, the Contracting Authority permits equivalent solutions. 10. Where the documents constituting the description of the subject matter of the contract specify the names of materials or products of specific manufacturers, this should be treated solely as an indication of the desired standard and quality. In all such situations, the Contractor may offer equivalent materials or products with at least the same technical and quality parameters. Product equivalence means offering a product whose technical parameters of the materials used, performance, durability and quality are no worse than the quality of the products described in the SWZ. 11. A Contractor relying on equivalent solutions is required to demonstrate that the solution it offers meets the requirements specified by the Contracting Authority. In such a case, the Contractor shall attach to the tender a list of equivalent solutions together with their description or standards. 12. The Contracting Authority does not envisage concluding a framework agreement or establishing a dynamic purchasing system and does not envisage selecting the most advantageous tender using an electronic auction. 13.

The Contracting Authority does not permit the submission of a tender in the form of electronic catalogues or the attachment of electronic catalogues to the tender in the situation specified in Art. 93 of the Pzp Act. 15.
