Maritime Rescue Service Seeks Fuel Tanker Supplier via Prozorro

The state-owned enterprise Maritime Search and Rescue Service has conducted a tender to select a supplier of a fuel tanker on a car chassis.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

We are talking about the purchase of a fuel tanker on a MAN car chassis or equivalent - when submitting a tender offer, the participant indicates a specific product name without specifying "or equivalent".

It must be equipped with:

• an additional transit pump with a set of hoses for transit pumping of fuel for a distance of 50 meters, bypassing the tank,
• a chest for things on the car chassis,
• a trailer hitch,
• a winch on the front with a pulling force of at least 9,500 kg, and a winch cable length of at least 30 meters.

The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special conditions, and the only participant was Kyiv-SpetsTeh Trading House Limited Liability Company. According to the YouControl service, the company was registered in 2023 in Kyiv and is owned by Oleksii Zemliuk.

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.
