Artsyz City Council Decides to Purchase Equipment for Schools for One Million

The Department of Education, Youth and Sports of the Artsyz City Council in Odesa Oblast has conducted a procurement to select a company to pay for sets of multimedia equipment for the city's schools.

The relevant information is available in the Prozorro e-procurement system.

It is about 11 sets of multimedia equipment. Type 1 - Interactive whiteboard with software. A multimedia projector with a short-focus lens. A 2.0 speaker system. Document camera with software and one set of multimedia equipment. Type 3 - Interactive panel included.

An individual entrepreneur Lyudmyla Sukhova was selected as the supplier without an auction. If the contract is concluded, the entrepreneur must supply the equipment by December 31, 2024, for UAH 1 million 102.3 thousand.

The procurement was made in the format of an open tender with special conditions. Open bidding with special conditions means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding in accordance with 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, the year before last, 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. The government temporarily canceled electronic auctions. Since then, tenders announced in Prozorro can be held without an auction.

Previously, Liudmyla Sukhoviy was the founder of Os-Nova 2007, a company that often won coal supply contracts. As Izbirkom, now called Intent, wrote back in 2016, Sukhoviy's company Os-Nova 2007 received about 20% of all coal purchases in Odesa Oblast in 2015-2016. At that time, law enforcement officers were investigating three major coal suppliers, including the LLC, for possible collusion and misappropriation of budget funds.
