The municipal non-profit enterprise City Clinical Hospital No. 11 of the Odesa City Council has held a tender to select a company that will sell it a common ultrasound imaging system.
This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.
The procurement was conducted in the format of open bidding with special features and Medholding Limited Liability Company had no competitors. The company expects to spend UAH 6 million 399 thousand.
Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding in accordance with 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 management 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.
