Budapest, Hungary — October 3, 2025:
Magyar Közút Nonprofit Zrt., the state-owned road management company, has awarded a €2.7 million supply contract to SIEX Ipari, Kereskedelmi és Szolgáltató Kft. for the delivery of new multifunctional road-maintenance and bicycle path operation vehicles. The procurement aims to modernize the country’s infrastructure maintenance fleet and improve operational efficiency across Hungary’s national and regional road network.
Modern Vehicles to Support Year-Round Infrastructure Upkeep
Under the contract, SIEX Kft. will deliver eight multifunctional articulated communal vehicles with a gross weight of at least seven tonnes. Each vehicle will be equipped with interchangeable adapters — including snow ploughs, salt spreaders, slope mowers, and tipper platforms - allowing year-round functionality for both winter maintenance and summer vegetation management on roadways and bicycle paths.
The vehicles will be deployed across multiple engineering units in Hungary, with technical training and handover scheduled at Szigetszentmiklós Engineering Centre. The project is expected to be completed within 24 months, including assembly, commissioning, and operator training for more than 20 personnel.
Procurement Overview and Evaluation
The open tender, published under OJ S 190/2025, received two bids, with STP Technic Kft. also participating. SIEX Kft. was selected as the winning bidder based on a best-value-for-money evaluation model, where price accounted for 80 points and quality (warranty period) for 20 points.
The contract, officially titled “Bicycle Path Operation Tools,” was signed on September 25, 2025, following award confirmation on August 27, 2025. The total contract value amounts to €2,726,920, excluding VAT, with approximately 1% subcontracting (€51,811) planned for specific technical components.
