Odesa District to Tender Outdoor Lighting Maintenance for Villages

The Dalnytsia Village Council of Odesa District, Odesa Oblast, has announced a tender to select a contractor to maintain the outdoor lighting networks in the villages of the community.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The villages in question are: Dalnyk, Roksolany, Baraboy, Hrybivka, Dobro Oleksandrivka, Sanzhyka, Marianivka and Novohradivka.

The village council plans to pay for the repairs by December 31, 2025. The expected value of the tender is UAH 1.5 thousand. The auction is scheduled to be held in the format of an open tender with special conditions.

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.

For example, the Centers for Financing and Economic Activity of Educational Institutions in Prymorskyi and Kyivskyi districts of Odesa announced a procurement to find companies that will be paid to maintain fire alarm systems in schools and kindergartens.

The winning company will have to maintain evacuation control systems, centralized fire surveillance systems, and automatic fire extinguishing systems until December 31, 2025, in 87 educational institutions in Prymorskyi district and 11 institutions in Kyiv district. The procurement is scheduled for January 15 and 16.
