Odesa City Council Seeks Contractor for ₴29M Gymnasium Overhaul Tender

The Capital Construction Department of the Odesa City Council has announced a tender to find a contractor who will be paid for the overhaul of the basement, a civil defense facility of Odesa Gymnasium No. 52.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The procurement is scheduled to take place on March 31 in the format of open bidding with special features with an expected purchase price of UAH 29 million 398.4 thousand.

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, in February 2025, the City Clinical Hospital No. 11 of the Odesa City Council held a tender to select a company that would sell it a common ultrasound imaging system. Medholding Limited Liability Company had no competitors.

Also, the municipal enterprise Service Center announced a tender to select a company that will be paid for the overhaul of the civil defense building on Bohdan Khmelnytsky Street.
