Bids can be submitted until May 29, and the electronic auction is scheduled for May 30. The winner will have to ensure the fulfillment of the contract by providing a bank guarantee in the amount of 1% of the cost of the work. The works are to be completed by December 20, 2026.

The customer is the Service for Infrastructure Restoration and Development in Mykolaiv Oblast. Under the terms of the tender, an advance payment of up to 30% of the annual cost of the works is possible.

This is not the first tender for the maintenance of this bridge. At the end of April, the Restoration Service announced an auction for the operational maintenance of the Pivdenne Bug Bridge on the M-14 Odesa-Melitopol-Novoazovsk highway, stating that it was the first stage of construction.

Only one company, the European Road Construction Company, applied for the tender. Its offer was 257 thousand hryvnias lower than the expected cost, so it was this company that was awarded the contract to repair the bridge in Mykolaiv. This company has been repeatedly mentioned in journalistic investigations - it has been linked to numerous non-competitive contracts worth hundreds of millions of hryvnias.
