Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to examine the relations between public transport service procurement and the level of concentration of rail freight transport market. This chapter analyses the demand reported by the public sector for the services of rail freight transport in Poland. Procurement notices were characterised with regard to type of load, reported demand for transport activity volume and applied tendering procedure. This chapter presents the share of demand reported in public tenders against the total market demand. Moreover, in order to identify the market concentration level, measurement was performed on the basis of discrete and accumulated measures. The analysis of the share of the volume of transport services purchased in tenders led to the conclusion that it could play a part in shaping market behaviours of units in the highly concentrated rail freight transport market. Demand executed through public procurement procedure may also have an impact on the market structure.
