Odesa's Jewish Hospital Selects Medgarant for X-ray System Purchase

The municipal non-profit enterprise City Clinical Hospital No. 1 in Odesa, better known in the city as the Jewish Hospital, has conducted a procurement to select a company from which to purchase an X-ray diagnostic system.

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

The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special conditions, and the only participant was Medgarant Limited Liability Company. The company expects to receive UAH 5 million after the deal is concluded. It will have to provide the equipment by December 31.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all the 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.

According to the YouControl service, Medgarant Limited Liability Company was registered in Kyiv in 2002. The owner is currently Oleksandr Ostrovsky from Kyiv.

In December 2024, the Jewish Hospital held a procurement to select a company to purchase a mammography X-ray stationary digital system. At that time, the procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special features, and the only participant was Lixnab Limited Liability Company. However, at the end of December, the results of the procurement were canceled because the hospital ran out of money while the tender was underway.
