College in Odesa Region Announces the Search for a Contractor to Install a Fire Alarm System for the Third Time

A college in Odesa region has announced for the third time that it is looking for a contractor to install a fire alarm system. The college has announced that it is looking for a company to install fire alarm, evacuation management and centralized fire monitoring systems at the facility.

The relevant information is available in the electronic procurement system Prozorro.

The auction with an expected purchase price of UAH 5 million 105.7 thousand is to be held in the format of an open tender with special conditions. This will be the third attempt to select a contractor. The previous one was scheduled for October, but then the auction was canceled due to the inability to eliminate violations committed during the posting and display of changes to the tender documentation.

We are talking about the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Pedagogical Specialized College. The first attempt was planned in September, and the winning company, De Maximus LLC, was even selected, which was ready to work for UAH 2 million 386 thousand, but was unable to justify its price offer, which the commission determined to be abnormally low. The second tenderer, Spetspozhservis-Yug LLC, which was ready to work for UAH 3 million 99 thousand, was waiting for the agreement to be concluded for some time. However, in the end, its offer was rejected, and the bidding results were canceled.

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.

It is worth noting that after the Russian 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.
