Odesa Regional State Administration chose inventor of 67 thousand hectares of land without auction

The Department of Agrarian Policy, Food and Land Relations of the Odesa Regional State (Military) Administration has held a tender to select a company that will be paid to conduct a state inventory of state-owned land in the region.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special features, and the only participant was Odesa Project Land Management Group Limited Liability Company. According to the YouControl service, the company was registered in Dobroslav, Odesa Oblast, in 2018. The owner and director of the company is Tetiana Zemlianova, a resident of the village of Lymanka.

The company expects to receive UAH 4.7 million for the inventory of 67.6 thousand hectares by December 9, 2024.

In June, the Department of Land Resources of Odesa City Council announced a tender to select a company that will develop technical documentation on land management for the inventory of communal land. The auction was held on June 28 in the format of an open tender with special conditions. The procurement was divided into three lots, and the only bidder for all three was Land Cadastral Bureau, a limited liability company.

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 beginning of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation in 2022, 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.
