Thanks to /Kjell for the July 9, 2021 comment gleaned from Naval News that:
TKMS "has officially been commissioned to build six identical Type 212CD submarines. The procurement organizations of Norway and Germany signed the corresponding contracts on July 8, 2021.
...Worth approx. 5.5 billion Euros, the order comprises the delivery of 2 subs to the German Navy and 4 to the Norwegian Navy."

Hi Pete
Unit submarine budget of Poland (0.897 billion USD = 2.6billion USD / 3 submarines) is slightly expensive than price of Type 212 (0.916 billion USD = 5.5 billion Euro/6 submarines, [1]), while contract value of A26 submarine was 0.47 billion USD (0.47 billion USD = 8.2 billion SEK/2 submarines, [2] )
Is maintenance cost including spare parts well secured in Type 212CDs? In the case of Type212As in German Navy, procurement of spare parts was not included in the contract, providing cannibalism maintenance.
In the case of A25, maintenance cost seems to be well secured.

Minister of Defense Peter Hultqvist announced on 17 March 2015 that the government had ordered two A26s from Saab Kockums AB, for a maximum of SEK 8.2 billion.[ 9 ]
