Katowice Airport is procuring 15 automated border control gates under a tender issued by Górnośląskie Towarzystwo Lotnicze S.A. The contract covers the purchase and installation of the gates, along with integration into systems used by the Polish Border Guard.
The procurement is structured around deployment of automated border control infrastructure that will cooperate with the Border Guard Information System and the Border Service Support system, reflecting a model where airport ABC infrastructure connects into national border-management workflows.
A change notice was issued on January 15, 2026 through the JOSEPHINE procurement platform. The update includes revised documentation and forms, and the tender record includes an updated EU procurement notice published via Tenders Electronic Daily.
The JOSEPHINE tender listing shows an offer submission deadline of February 17, 2026 at 09:00, with offer opening scheduled shortly afterward at 09:15. The tender remains part of the broader EU procurement framework through TED publication, consistent with procurement practices for airport and border-related infrastructure projects.
Automated border control gate deployments remain a major area of investment across Europe as border agencies and airport operators pursue higher-throughput processing and more standardized identity verification at border crossings. Integration with national systems is a key component of operational deployment, enabling border authorities to apply consistent checks and workflows at the point of entry.
