Odesa Medical Supply Base Tenders ₴6.7M for Lab Reagents with One Bidder

The municipal institution Odesa Regional Special Medical Supply Base has held a tender to select a supplier of medicines.

The relevant information was published in the Prozorro e-procurement system.

It is about 68 items of laboratory reagents totaling UAH 6 million 737.4 thousand. The procurement was conducted in the format of open bidding with one participant - Mediprime Limited Liability Company. According to the YouControl service, the company was registered in Kyiv in 2017. The owner is Tetiana Ponomarenko from Kyiv.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding under the Law on Public Procurement. That is, 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.

Earlier, the municipal institution Odesa Regional Special Medical Supply Base held a tender to select a supplier of medicines. It was about 5 items of laboratory reagents totaling UAH 12 million 734.2 thousand. The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with peculiarities and one participant - KhLR Limited Liability Company.
