Odesa CHP Awards ₴26.5M Contract for Power System Reconstruction

Odesa CHP held an auction to find a contractor to reconstruct the backup power system and replace the 220V DC battery.

The relevant information was published in the Prozorro e-procurement system.

The CHP plant held a full-fledged auction with the participation of three companies: Spetstermomontazh-energo LLC, Berg Group LLC and Royal Group Trading House LLC.

Spetstermomontazh-Engo LLC was chosen as the winner, as it offered to work for UAH 26.5 million. According to the YouControl service, the company was registered in 2013 in Kyiv. The owner is a resident of Kharkiv region, Andriy Onuprienko.

In February, Odesa CHP held a tender to select a contractor to pay for the medium repair of the steam turbine at station No. 3.

The procurement was held on February 25 in the format of an open tender with special conditions. The only participant was Kharkivenergoremont-Holding, a limited liability company, which won the tender.

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, 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.

Earlier it was reported that the Supreme Court upheld the conclusions of Odesa auditors on the misuse of a subvention from the state budget for Odesa CHP for more than UAH 51 million, satisfying the appeal of the Southern Office of the State Audit Service.
