The SBU Office in Odesa region has decided to purchase a specialized passenger car based on a Toyota RAV4 or equivalent for UAH 1.6 million.
The relevant information was published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system, according to the Center for Public Investigations.
The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special conditions, and the only participant, ViDi Palmira Limited Liability Company, is currently waiting for the agreement to be signed.
According to the YouControl service, the company was registered in Odesa in 2007 and is currently owned by Oleh Dzhurynskyi and Vitalii Dzhurynskyi, owners of ViDi Alley and ViDi Group. These companies are listed as founders of ViDi Palmira.
A special purpose vehicle must be new and suitable for the purposes for which the goods of this kind are normally used.
Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than they were 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, the year before last, 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. The government temporarily canceled electronic auctions. Since then, tenders announced in Prozorro can be held without an auction.
Meanwhile, the Odesa Commercial Sea Port has announced a tender to select a company to buy two minibuses from. The auction is planned in the format of open bidding with special features and provides for the purchase of two Hyundai Staria Business and Hyundai Staria Top Bronze vehicles or the equivalent for the transportation of at least 10 passengers.
