Odesa Announces Tender for Video Surveillance System Maintenance

The municipal institution "Center for Integrated Video Surveillance and Video Analytics of Odesa" has announced a tender to select a company that will be paid for the maintenance of the Integrated Video Surveillance and Video Analytics System in Odesa.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The auction is scheduled for February 19 in the format of open bidding with special features. The expected purchase price is UAH 11 million 664.4 thousand. The winning company will have to maintain the systems throughout the year.

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, the Tairova village council in Odesa region held a procurement to select a contractor to be paid for the construction of a water supply system on Shevchenko and Nadiya streets in the village of Sukhyi Lyman in Odesa region. The only bidder was Grado-Stroy Construction Company, a limited liability company.

The company expects to receive UAH 15 million 231.5 thousand for this construction, and the work should be completed by May 31, 2025.
