In Odesa, the project to repair the building of the infectious diseases hospital was adjusted by another 76 million

The Capital Construction Department of the Odesa City Council has announced a tender to select a company that will be paid for the overhaul of the letter "I" building, which is part of the city's clinical infectious diseases hospital.

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

The auction is to be held in the format of open bidding with special features on December 23. The expected purchase price is UAH 76 million 841.5 thousand. The works are scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2025.

It should be noted that on February 22, 2022, the department held an auction for this procurement. Three companies took part in the auction, and as a result, the agreement was concluded with Grandelectrostroy Limited Liability Company. The company agreed to work for UAH 92 million 549 thousand 945. After that, eight additional agreements were signed with the company. The last one stipulates that the company is to pay UAH 22 million 221.8 thousand by 2025. The agreements were concluded due to irregular budget funding.

In addition, the same company received UAH 48 million 979.3 thousand under an agreement concluded in May 2021.

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 for 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.
