Chornomorsk decided to reconstruct a pumping station for 12 million

The Chornomorskvodokanal utility company from Odesa region has announced a tender to find a contractor to be paid for the reconstruction of the main sewage pumping station in Chornomorsk.

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

The auction with an expected purchase price of UAH 12 million 722.7 thousand is scheduled for September 23. The format of the procurement is open bidding with special features, so it is possible to choose from one participant.

Open bidding with special features 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, after the beginning of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation in 2022, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine temporarily changed the rules for 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 Enterprise "Izmail Commercial Sea Port" has pre-selected a contractor for the reconstruction of the track development of four railway sidings on the territory of the port's production and transshipment complex at the Izmail station.

The Capital Construction Department of the Odesa City Council has also held a new tender to select a contractor to carry out repair and restoration work on the facade and roof of a building located at 15 Sofiyivska Street. The procurement was conducted without an auction. The restoration project has been adjusted and now they expect to find a company that will be paid UAH 7 million 546.5 thousand under the new tender.
