First aid kits for Odesa Security Police Department reduced in price by almost half a million

The Security Police Department in Odesa Oblast has procured 380 individual first aid kits.

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

The procurement was made in the format of open bidding with special features on January 20, 2025, with the participation of two companies - Pharmmedalliance Limited Liability Company and Gavryliuk Valentyna Mykolayivna Limited Liability Company. Pharmmedalliance LLC was chosen as the winner, agreeing to sell the first aid kit for UAH 1 million 778.5 thousand at an expected purchase price of UAH 2.2 million. Thus, in case of concluding an agreement with the winner, the savings should amount to UAH 493.9 thousand.

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.

For example, the municipal institution Odesa Regional Special Medical Supply Base chose Fabryka Smaku LLC to provide four meals a day for patients without an auction. The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special features, and after the agreement is concluded, the winning company will have to feed the patients until December 31, 205.

The Education Department of the Tatarbunary City Council also conducted a procurement to select a company that will be paid to provide hot meals for pupils of preschool education institutions and students of general secondary education institutions. The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special features, and the only participant was the Limited Liability Company "Boarding House with Treatment "AIFA".
