Military unit in Odesa region chose a newcomer as a drone supplier for 8 million

A military unit located in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi in Odesa region has held a tender to select a supplier of DJI Mavic 3T Enterprise quadcopters for a total of almost UAH 9 million.

The relevant information is available in the Prozorro e-procurement system.

The auction was held on January 21 with the participation of five companies: Kyiv Quadrocopters Limited Liability Company, Private Firm Dukat, Habix LLC, Optomax Limited Liability Company, and Commerce Elite Solutions Group LLC.

Kyiv Quadrocopters was chosen asthe winner, agreeing to sell the quadcopters for UAH 8 million 607.6 thousand.

According to the YouControl service, the company was registered in 2024 in Kyiv. The owner and director is Roman Bonyuk.

The auction was held in the format of a "request (price) proposal" - a procurement method through Prozorro Market that can be used by the customer to determine the best price.

The procedure may seem similar to open bidding, but there are some peculiarities:

• of all competitive procedures, Prozorro's is the fastest - at least four days;
• there is no stage for submitting questions, demands or complaints;
• there is no need to prepare qualification documentation and, accordingly, the customer does not need to qualify;
• there is also no "Reduction" stage.

The customer announces a request for a product of a certain category, and then the system sends notifications to all suppliers who are accredited in it.

If a supplier already has a product in the catalog, he can

• respond to the request with the same price as in the catalog;
• offer the customer their own price.

The supplier can either accept the offer or ignore it. If the supplier decides to respond to the request, in this case, in the "Registration of offers" block, you need to specify your price (it can be lower than the customer specified in his request) and select the product.
