Odesa Security Police Seeks Company for ₴8.5M Alarm Device Tender

The Security Police Department in Odesa region has announced a tender to select a company that will be paid for security and fire alarm devices.

This was reported in the electronic procurement system Prozorro.

The auction is scheduled for March 31 in the format of open bidding with the expected purchase price of UAH 8 million 456.4 thousand. The tender involves 74 items of various devices that the winning company will have to supply by December 31, 2025.

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.

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 for 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, Stroy-Invest-Group-7, a limited liability company, was the only bidder in two procurements for the overhaul of civil defense shelters on Serednya and Prokhorivska streets.

In particular, the company expects to receive UAH 5.4 million for the repair of the shelter on Prokhorivska Street and UAH 10 million 395.4 thousand for the shelter on Serednya Street. Both procurements were conducted in the format of open bidding with special features.
