College in Odesa region selects Zaporizhzhia company as supplier of combine harvester for EU money without auction

Tiligul Professional Agrarian College, located in Odesa region, has conducted a procurement to select a supplier of a grain harvester for more than UAH 6 million.

According to the Prozorro electronic procurement system, this step is funded by the European Union - Ukraine Facility.

The procurement was conducted in the format of open bidding with special features, and the only participant was the Limited Liability Company Trading House Liderparts, which expects to receive UAH 6.5 million if the deal is concluded.

According to the YouControl service, Trading House Liderparts LLC was registered in Zaporizhzhia in 2021. The owner is Dmytro Yezhkov, a resident of the Dnipro region.

Since the beginning of the year, the company has participated in one tender. The company won the right to sell the State Institution of the Institute of Grain Crops of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine for UAH 1 million 980 thousand.

The company is one of the suppliers of CASE, NEW HOLLAND and DEUTZ-FAHR spare parts and equipment in Ukraine.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding under the Law on Public Procurement. The period for submitting bids is seven calendar days, and the period for challenging qualifications is five calendar days. Often, there is no auction during such bidding, so the bidder has no competitors.

However, the year before last, 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. The government temporarily canceled electronic auctions. Since then, tenders announced in Prozorro can be held without an auction.
