Odesa Council Seeks Catering Services for Richelieu Lyceum Students

The municipal enterprise "Centralized Procurement Organization of Odesa Regional Council" has announced a search for a company that will organize catering at the Richelieu Scientific Lyceum.

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

The procurement is scheduled for February 28 in the format of an open tender with special conditions. The expected cost of the procurement is UAH 6 million 151.9 thousand. The procurement involves the purchase of 24,850 meals.

The meals for students (age group: 11-17 years) should be uninterrupted, for students who eat five days a week (Monday - Friday), three times a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) - 175 school days.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than they were in open bidding under the Public Procurement Law. 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 Usativ village council of Odesa district held a procurement to select a company that will be paid for catering services for students of general secondary education institutions of the Usativ village territorial community.
