Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi selects contractor to repair canteen for UAH 21 million

The Education Department of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi City Council in Odesa Oblast has selected a contractor to overhaul the food service unit of school No. 7.

This was reported in the electronic procurement system Prozorro, according to the Center for Public Investigations.

The procurement was conducted in the format of open bidding with special features, but four companies took part in it: three limited liability companies Kam-Ekorembud, Construction and Trading Company Budtechno Plus and Sky Group Development, and a private enterprise Arproektbud.

The winner was Kam-Ekorembud Limited Liability Company, which agreed to work for UAH 21 million 55 thousand. The company expects that after the agreement is concluded, it will have to make repairs for this money by December 31, 2025.

According to the YouControl service, Kam-Ekorembud LLC was registered in Odesa in 2020. The owner is Andriy Koryakin, who ran for the Odesa Regional Council in 2015 from the UKROP party.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding under the Law on Public Procurement. That is, 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.
