Odesa starts looking for a contractor to repair an emergency house for 2 million

The Department of Municipal Economy of the Odesa City Council has announced the search for a contractor to be paid for emergency repairs at the residential building No. 71 on Vapnyanoy Street.

The announcement was published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system, according to the Center for Public Investigations.

The results of the procurement are scheduled to be announced on September 30. The expected cost is UAH 2 million 744.2 thousand. The format is open bidding with special features, and the winning company will have to complete the work by December 31, 2025.

Open bidding with special conditions 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, 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.

For example, the Department of Municipal Economy of the Odesa City Council chose a company to pay for the overhaul of elevators in the city's high-rise buildings. Both auctions took place on September 14, and the winners will have to complete the work by December 31, 2025. The procurement is planned in the format of open bidding with special features.

The winner without an auction was Apogee Limited Liability Company, which was the only bidder. The company agreed to work for a total of UAH 7 million 640.6 thousand.
