Berg Group Wins ₴44M Water Supply Overhaul in Odesa District

The Department for the Maintenance of Communal Property of Dachna Village Council of Odesa District has announced a procurement to select a company that will be paid for the overhaul of the water supply network from two wells.

The announcement was published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

It is about the networks within the streets: Aprikosova, Kvitkova, Kozatska, Kalynova, Lazurna, Yabluneva, Pryvokzalna, Zaliznychna, Peremohy, Zakhidna, Myr, Preobrazhenska, Solovyina, Hospitalna, Shakhtarska and Osinnyi Lane.

The auction in the format of open bidding with special features is scheduled for February 10 with the participation of three companies: Berg Group Limited Liability Company, Dorex Traffic Safety Limited Liability Company and Premiumstandardbud Construction Firm Limited Liability Company.

The winner was Berg Group LLC, which agreed to work for UAH 44 million 406.6 thousand. According to the YouControl service, the company was registered in 2022 in Odesa. The owner is Svitlana Sadova, a resident of Kherson.

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 start of the full-scale invasion, 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.
