Mykolaiv is also looking for a contractor to manufacture and install tombstones for fallen soldiers who gave their lives for Ukraine.

Mykolaiv Funeral Service has already announced a tender for the installation of 160 tombstones for Ukrainian defenders. Back then, it was planned to allocate UAH 6.2 million from the local budget. The winner was a sole proprietor who agreed to perform the work for UAH 2.9 million. Recently, a new tender has appeared on the e-procurement website, and its amount is UAH 4 million 580 thousand. The process of submitting proposals will last until September 19, and the next day an auction in the format of open bidding with special features is scheduled.

Earlier, the Mykolaiv City Council received numerous complaints from citizens who lost their loved ones in the war that they could not install the monuments themselves and were waiting for the municipalities to do so. But this is not happening.
