Odesa CHP Awards Tender for Steam Turbine Repair to Kharkiv Firm for ₴4.4M

Odesa CHP Joint Stock Company has held a tender to select a contractor to pay for the medium repair of the steam turbine at station No. 3.

This is stated in the Prozorro electronic procurement system, according to the Center for Public Investigations.

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.

The company has to complete the repairs by May 6, 2025, and expects to receive UAH 4,424.5 thousand for the work. According to the YouControl service, the company was registered in Kharkiv in 2012. The owners are currently Oleksandr Bendus and Liudmyla Kuzyara.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding under the Law on Public Procurement. That is, 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, Odesa CHP announced the search for a contractor to reconstruct the backup power system and replace the 220V DC battery.

This refers to the station No. 2, the building of the main control panel, the first floor at the following address: 29 Tserkovna Street, Odesa.

The auction with an expected purchase price of UAH 33 million 136.9 thousand is to be held on March 10 in the format of an open tender with special conditions.
