Construction of water pipeline in Sukhoi Estuary has risen in price by 3 million

The Tairova village council has announced a tender to find a contractor to build a water supply system on Shevchenko and Nadiya streets in the village of Sukhyi Lyman in Odesa region.

This is reported in the electronic procurement system Prozorro.

The auction with an expected purchase price of UAH 15 million 509.5 thousand is to be held on February 10, and this is the second adjustment of the project. In November 2021, the tender for the adjusted project with an expected cost of UAH 12 million 151.7 thousand ended with the victory of Odessagrogaz Limited Liability Company. The company agreed to work for UAH 11 million 750.3 thousand, but the tender was canceled on the basis of part five of Article 32 of the Law of Ukraine "On Public Procurement" - reducing the cost of procurement of works.

In 2020, a procurement for this water pipeline was also conducted, but the cost of the work was estimated at UAH 2 million 910.3 thousand, and the winner was the municipal enterprise "Housing and Communal Enterprise "Tairove", but then the agreement was terminated due to lack of funding, and before that, they tried to conduct the procurement three times, but failed.

The procurement was planned in the format of an open tender with special conditions. Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than those of 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 full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, 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.
