The Department of Capital Construction and Roads of the Odesa Regional State Administration conducted a procurement to select a contractor to reconstruct buildings and a boiler room at the Oles Honchar Balta Secondary School.
The relevant information is available in the Prozorro electronic procurement system, according to the Center for Public Investigations.
The procurement was conducted in the format of open bidding with the peculiarity that its only participant was the limited liability company Grado-Stroy.
According to the YouControl service, the company was registered in Odesa in 2008. The ultimate beneficial owner is Yuriy Samoilenko.
This is the second attempt to conduct the procurement. The previous one was scheduled for August 15, but the auction was canceled due to the lack of bids.
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 for 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 Road Maintenance Department of the Odesa City Council held a tender to select a contractor to be paid for the overhaul of two city streets.
The procurement was conducted in the format of open bidding with the peculiarity that Rostdorstroy Limited Liability Company had no competitors.
The company is ready to work for UAH 41 million 955.9 thousand. The works are scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2025.
