Kyiv firm wins right to sell surgical table to Odesa hospital for 3 million without auction

The municipal non-profit enterprise City Clinical Hospital No. 11 has conducted another procurement to select a company to pay for a surgical table with cardiac equipment.

The relevant information was published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The procurement was conducted in the format of open bidding with special features, and the only participant was Protek Solutions Ukraine, a limited liability company. The company expects to pay UAH 3 million 250 thousand.

According to the YouControl service, Protek Solutions Ukraine LLC was registered in Kyiv in 2009. The owners are Natalia Tugay and Fedir Kirpenko.

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, the year before last, 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.

The government temporarily canceled electronic auctions. Since then, tenders announced in Prozorro can be held without an auction.

For example, earlier, the Municipal Non-Profit Enterprise "City Clinical Hospital No. 11" of the Odesa City Council held five procurements for the purchase of medical equipment for a total of UAH 19 million 570 thousand. All procurements were conducted in the format of open bidding with special features, and the only winner in the tenders was Protek Solutions Ukraine, a limited liability company.
