Odesa port to buy two minivans for 4 million

The Odesa Commercial Sea Port has announced a tender to select a company to purchase two minibuses from.

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

The auction is planned in the format of open bidding with special features and provides for the purchase of two Hyundai Staria Business and Hyundai Staria Top Bronze vehicles or the equivalent for the transportation of at least 10 passengers.

The purchase is scheduled for October 29.

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.

For example, the Road Maintenance Department of the Odesa City Council held a procurement to select a company that would be paid for the maintenance of roadways and sidewalks of municipal streets and roads. According to the system, the procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special conditions, and the only participant was Rostdorstroy Limited Liability Company. The company will have to repair sections of 10 city streets with a total area of UAH 16 million 447 thousand 972 by December 31.
