– Local content is simply a precedence not only of the Ministry of State Acts, but of the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

We take intensive action to guarantee that this precedence is decently prepared and then implemented – announced in an interview with Newseria agency Eliza Zeidler, State Secretary at the Ministry of State Acts.

The next decade will be a period of many megainvestments

As Wojciech Balczun, Minister of State Assets, emphasized many times, the next decade will be a period of many megainvestments, which creates immense contractual possible for national companies. The MAP announces that it wants to make conditions for them to become beneficiaries of these projects. specified a tool is to be the task “Local Content. For the benefit of Poland”, which was officially launched in April this year. Its overall nonsubjective is to hunt down supply chains, understood as expanding the participation of national companies in investment projects.

Only in the energy sector of the company with the participation of the Treasury (SSP) plan an investment programme worth about PLN 800 billion in the next decade. Multi-billion projects are besides waiting for the infrastructure and arms industry. The government announces that it wants to increase local content, which is the share of the national component. The Code of Good Practice is to be helpful to the State Treasury companies.

Code of good practice on the participation of the national component in strategical investments by SSPs

– The team, appointed by the Minister of State Assets, prepared a Code of Good Practice on the participation of the national component in strategical investments carried out by the SSP, which we anticipate will become a formal paper in the coming days through the signature of the Prime Minister, emphasises Eliza Zeidler during the Polish economical Congress.

The Code contains a number of recommendations on how to advertise and organise contracts, reduce formal barriers or measure tenders. They are intended to aid level the chances of home companies competing for orders. “We simply request more time to prepare not only the conditions for participation in a given tender procedure, but besides the criteria for assessing tenders, so that this offer is not only the cheapest, but besides the most advantageous”, says the MAP Secretary of State.

This code is simply a signpost.

The Code sets out the criteria for determining the level of nationality of the individual entities with which they will want to cooperate with the State Treasury. They were besides assigned percentages. For example, the criterion concerning the highest level parent company established in Poland weighs 25%, as well as the criterion of the main activity carried out in Poland. After 15%, they weigh the criterion of taxation residence in Poland and employment more than half of employees who are Polish citizens or Polish residents paying taxes and contributions to the Social safety Office in Poland. These criteria, as the ministry points out, are to support Polish companies, but besides global businesses, which will decide to settle deeper in our country.

– This code is simply a signpost. He will be supplemented, among others, by detailed guidelines of the Minister of State Assets, how this local content should be applied and how to number it – explains Eliza Zeidler. – First of all, we want to change the way we think, i.e. search for services, products, components of the supply chain in the country and first check whether it is available in Poland, but – as we point out – full in accordance with the existing national and European regulations.

State purchasing policy for the period 2026–2029 and KPI, i.e. key performance indicators (KPI)

In addition to the code, another tool supporting local content in national investments is to be adopted in March this year. State purchasing policy for the period 2026–2029 and KPI, i.e. key performance indicators (KPI). As the MAP explains, in companies with the participation of the State Treasury, supervisory boards will be able to clear the boards of directors from the implementation of this priority.
