Odesa Administration Announces ₴15M Tender for Ambulance Substation Overhaul

The Department of Capital Construction and Roads of the Odesa Regional State Administration has announced a tender to select a contractor to be paid for the overhaul of the building of the third substation of the Odesa Ambulance Station.

The announcement was published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The auction is scheduled for May 5 in the format of open bidding with special conditions. The expected value of the procurement is UAH 15 million 954.7 thousand. Open bidding with special features 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.

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 for 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.

For example, the Artsyzka City Council in Odesa region held a procurement to select a contractor to be paid for providing services for the maintenance of municipal streets and roads. The only bidder was DSK Avtoshlyakh, a limited liability company. The company expects to receive UAH 3 million 510.3 thousand if the deal is concluded.
