Another change pertaining to qualification of the deliveries makes the requirements pertaining to that matter less strict. So far the MoD assumed that the potential contractor should have a delivery accomplished in his portfolio, with a value of at least 6 million zlotys, covering supply of three examples of armoured 4×4 offroad vehicles with armour protection level of no less than level 2 according to STANAG 4569 annex A and explosion protection level of no less than level 2 according to STANAG 4569 annex 2. The vehicles in question should also have been fitted with a remotely controlled gun system. The new, amended terms assume that the requirement to equip the vehicles with a remotely controlled armament module would be dropped.

In case of the requirements related to the suppliers, the content of the new announcement reads as follows: "As per Article 131d, section. 1 of the Public Procurement Act, the offers may be submitted by the contractors whose headquarters or home address is located within the territory of one of the EU member states, within the European Economic Area, or in a state, with which the EU (or Poland) has signed an agreement on cooperation, within the scope of the orders related to defence and security.” The above group of countries from which the contractors may come has also been extended, as Australian entities may now submit their requests as well.
