A contractor was found in Izmail to protect heating networks in the SES building for 2 million

The Housing and Communal Services Department of the Izmail City Council of Izmail District, Odesa Region, has conducted a procurement to select a contractor who will be paid to implement measures to prevent the occurrence of man-made emergencies.

As noted in the Prozorro electronic procurement system, these are measures related to the protection of heating networks.

The company to be contracted will protect heating networks in Izmail at 19 Zakhystnykiv Zmiinyi Street, where the district office of the State Emergency Service is located. The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special features, and the potential contractor, SMU-56 Limited Liability Company, had no competitors.

The company will have to complete the work by November 8, 2024, and receive UAH 2 million 55.9 thousand for it.

According to the YouControl service, the LLC was registered in Izmail in 2018. The owner is a local resident Vitaliy Popov.

In January, SMU-56 signed an agreement with the Housing and Utilities Department of the Izmail City Council and received UAH 2 million 402.9 thousand for repairs after the collapse on a section of Khotynska Street in Izmail. That tender was also held without an auction.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding under the Law on Public Procurement. This means that this procurement is much faster than open tenders.

The period for submitting proposals is seven calendar days, and the period for challenging qualifications is five calendar days.

Often, there is no auction during such tenders, so the participant has no competitors.

However, after the beginning of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation in 2022, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine temporarily changed the rules of bidding for the period of martial law in Ukraine and within 90 days from the date of its termination or cancellation.

Thus, the government temporarily canceled electronic auctions. Since then, tenders announced in Prozorro can be held without an auction.
