The Department of Municipal Economy of Odesa City Council held three procurements to select a company to repair several elevators in the city's multi-storey buildings for a total of UAH 8 million 302.8 thousand.
The relevant information is available in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.
It is about the repair of two elevators in the building No. 65 on Kolontaivska Street for UAH 3 million 930.9 thousand, one elevator in the building No. 5/1 on Yaroslav Baisa (Vysotsky) Street for UAH 1 million 493.5 million and two elevators in the building No. 193 on Balkivska Street for UAH 2 million 878.5 million.
All three tenders were held in the format of open tenders with special conditions. Open bidding with special conditions 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.
The winner of the three purchases was Steel Made Limited Liability Company. This company was founded in 2021 by Oleksandr Vasylkov from Kryvyi Rih, who previously was the director of Kryvyi Rih Meerkat Plant for seven years, part of whose shares belong to a foreign citizen, Tetiana Mykhalenko, who is probably the daughter of the permanent mayor of Kryvyi Rih, Yurii Vilkul, and Oleksandr Vilkul's sister. Journalists of the Nikcenter publication stated that Petro Zaika became the director of Steel Made after receiving the first budget contracts. Previously, he was the chief engineer of PJSC Stalkanat-Silur. Part of the shares in Stalkanat-Silur belong to Anton Mykhalenko, who is called in the media Yuriy Vilkul's former son-in-law. The signatory of this plant is also a signatory of the Vilkul Jr. Foundation.
