Buildings of a rural lyceum near Odesa are to be reconstructed for 96 million hryvnias

The Department of Education of the Fontansky Village Council of Odesa District has announced a tender to select a company that will be paid for the reconstruction of the Kryzhanivsky Lyceum with the installation of civil defense facilities.

The relevant information is available in the Prozorro electronic procurement system, according to the Center for Public Investigations.

As noted in the announcement, it is a building (letter A), an extension (letter A1), and a storeroom (letter Zh). The auction is scheduled for December 23 with a total purchase price of UAH 96 million 14.8 thousand in the format of open bidding with special conditions.

Open bidding with special conditions 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.

For example, the state-owned enterprise Local Road Service held a procurement to select a company that would be paid for the operational maintenance of public roads of local importance in Bereziv district. The only bidder was Berezivkaagroshlyakhbud, a limited liability company. The company expects to maintain the roads until December 31, 2025, and receive UAH 14 million 687.4 thousand for this.
