Effective solutions for the Rail Baltica project: LTG Infra optimized public procurement

LTG Infra, the LTG Group’s infrastructure company responsible for implementing the Rail Baltica project in Lithuania, signed contracts worth more than EUR 800 million (including VAT) in 2025. After updating its strategic procurement plan, the company has strengthened collaboration with market players and industry associations, actively monitored trends, and introduced targeted solutions to ensure the Rail Baltica project remains transparent, competitive, and economically sustainable.
According to Egidijus Lazauskas, CEO of LTG Group, LTG Infra’s proactive and sustainable approach, built on close market cooperation, demonstrates how strategic planning enables effective use of investments.
“Our goal is to deliver the project in the most financially advantageous way for Lithuania, while meeting the highest quality standards and creating long-term value that fosters market development and regional economic growth,” says Lazauskas.
In 2025, the LTG Competence Center refined its strategic procurement implementation approach. For most tenders exceeding EUR 100 million, the strategy aimed to announce the winner of the previous procurement before inviting bids for the next one. This sequencing allowed the market to better assess the competitive landscape, plan resources, and make informed participation decisions.
Vytis Žalimas, CEO of LTG Infra, notes that this approach helped contractors plan capacity and maintain a steady workflow, benefiting the entire market.
“If a contractor knows they will be working near Kaunas next year, they can evaluate whether it makes sense to bid for a section near Panevėžys—considering resources and geographic convenience. Meanwhile, other companies can offer competitive solutions to secure future projects,” explains Žalimas.
This year, LTG Infra signed construction contracts with HISK, Fegda, Tilsta, Kauno tiltai, Leonard Weiss International, and Leonard Weiss OÜ, while continuing to implement strategic procurement initiatives.
“Our professional team worked tirelessly throughout the year, upholding the highest quality standards. Contractors also responded promptly to inquiries and provided documentation efficiently. The outcome is encouraging—the year was successful for both the Rail Baltica project and the broader market,” says Žalimas.
Rail Baltica is a strategic project for both the LTG Group and the European Union and is the largest railway infrastructure project in the history of the Baltic States. Once completed, it will deliver an electrified European standard gauge railway line connecting Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia with Central and Western Europe, strengthening regional integration, civil and military mobility, and the overall resilience of the transport system.
