Almost a million hryvnias will be spent on advertising for Mykolaiv police

Billboards and city lights in Mykolaiv and the region are going to advertise the security police. Law enforcement officers want to spend almost a million hryvnias on these services.

This was reported by the Center for Public Investigations with reference to the Prozorro system.

The procurement for visual advertising services on billboards was announced by the Protection Police Department in Mykolaiv region on August 26. Proposals will be accepted until September 4. The next day, an auction will be held in the format of open bidding with special features. The peculiarity of the open bidding is that all the terms are shortened compared to traditional bidding, which is regulated by the Law on Public Procurement. This means that the procurement process is much faster.
