Odesa Chooses Paritetbudinvest for Road Maintenance Tender

The municipal enterprise "City Roads" has conducted a procurement to select a contractor to pay for the maintenance of the street and road network of the Prymorskyi district of Odesa.

The relevant information is available in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special features, but with the participation of three companies: Paritetbudinvest Construction Company, European Roads of Ukraine, and DSK Avtoshlyakh.

Paritetbudinvest LLC was chosen as the winner, with a bid of UAH 5 million 70.4 thousand.

According to the YouControl service, Paritetbudinvest LLC was registered in 2019 in Chornomorsk. The owners are Artem Sobolev from Vinnytsia region and Arkadiy Ilyashchuk from Chornomorsk.

In 2020, the publication USI, citing the website "Posipaky," named the latter as an assistant to Valentyn Gapunich, a deputy of the Odesa City Council from the party "Trust the Deeds." The authorized capital is UAH 20 thousand.

Open bidding with peculiarities implies 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, after the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, 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. Thus, the government temporarily canceled electronic auctions. Since then, tenders announced in Prozorro can be held without an auction.
