Odesa Regional Council Announces ₴2.6M Tender for Hybrid Solar Plant

The municipal enterprise Centralized Procurement Organization of Odesa Regional Council has announced a tender to select a supplier for a hybrid solar power plant.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The winning company will have to install and launch a boiler house at the administrative building of the Odesa orphanage. The procurement is scheduled to take place in the format of an open tender with special conditions on March 17.

The expected value of the procurement is UAH 2 million 627.7 thousand.

It includes: 68 Jingsun JAM132D-750N solar panels or equivalent, one Deye SUN-50K-SG01HP3-EU hybrid inverter or equivalent, and two Sunpal ECO56.32-X1 batteries or equivalent.

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.

Earlier, City Clinical Hospital #11 of Odesa City Council held a procurement to select a company that would sell it a common ultrasound imaging system. Medholding Limited Liability Company had no competitors.
