The municipal institution Odesa Regional Rural Medical Supply Base has announced a tender to select a company that will be paid for patient meals for a year.
This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.
The procurement is scheduled to take place in the format of open bidding with special features on February 13 with an expected purchase price of UAH 21 million 315.4 thousand.
It is planned to purchase 250 sets of meals for patients:
It is also planned to purchase 25,000 meals for adult patients and 5,000 meals for the military. The kit provides five meals a day for one person.
Earlier, the Odesa Regional Medical Center for Mental Health ordered catering services, i.e. food preparation and delivery, for hospital patients without a tender procedure. The services will be provided by the monopoly company Fabrika Smaku.
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 start of the full-scale invasion, 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.
