In Odesa, a provider for the sick was elected without an auction for 96 million

The municipal institution Odesa Regional Special Medical Supply Base chose Fabryka Smaku Limited Liability Company without an auction to provide four meals a day to patients.

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

It is about 279 thousand 640 sets of medical nutrition for patients in the general department, five sets of medical nutrition for children aged 3 to 6 years, 350 sets. Services for the organization of medical nutrition for children aged 7 to 10 years, 800 sets of medical nutrition for children aged 11 to 14 years, 2.6 thousand sets of medical nutrition for children aged 15 to 18 years, 109.5 thousand sets of medical nutrition for patients in accordance with norm No. 5.

The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special conditions, and after the conclusion of the agreement, the winning company will have to feed the patients until December 31, 205.

Open bidding with special conditions means that almost all terms are shorter than those 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.
