Mészáros1 Autókereskedő wins vehicle leasing tender

Mészáros1 Autókereskedő Kft., a company owned by Lőrinc Mészáros, has won a public procurement tender for vehicle leasing provided by the IKK Innovatív Képzéstámogató Központ Nonprofit Zrt. The contract involves the rental of two medium-class station wagons for a period of 65 months.

Mészáros1 Autókereskedő Kft. submitted the lowest bid at approximately 22.4 million HUF, outperforming competitors such as Road Capital Kft. (23.1 million HUF), Mercarius Flottakezelő Kft. (23.4 million HUF), and CFS Europe Zrt. (28.2 million HUF).

This development follows previous investigations into Mészáros-linked companies, including M1 Kft. and Mercarius Kft., regarding allegations of breach of trust and anti-competitive agreements in public procurement processes. Past reports have noted that M1 Autókereskedő Kft. significantly increased its revenue through similar tenders, sometimes at prices higher than competitors, due to evaluation criteria that prioritized delivery speed over cost.
