Dalnytsia village council decided to look for a second time for a reconstruction contractor for 29 million

The Dalnytsia Village Council of Odesa District has announced a tender to find a contractor to reconstruct its administrative building.

The announcement was posted in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The procurement is scheduled to take place on December 18 in the format of an open tender with special conditions. The expected purchase price is UAH 29 million 180.4 thousand.

The winning company will have to complete the work by December 31, 2025, if the agreement is signed.

In October, the village council already tried to find a contractor. A full-fledged auction was held with the participation of four limited liability companies: "ETM Group, Stroyspetsstechnika, Grado-Stroy Insurance Company, and Stroy-Bud-Kran.

The winner was ETM Group LLC, which agreed to work for UAH 24 million 360.4 thousand. However, state auditors found violations of public procurement legislation in the procurement process, which proved impossible to eliminate.

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.

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.
