Odesa utilities announced a search for a company to repair their vehicles for 7 million

The Odesa municipal enterprise City Roads has announced a tender to select a company to pay for the maintenance and repair of motor vehicles.

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

The auction with an expected purchase price of UAH 7 million 137 thousand is to be held on November 5 in the format of an open tender with special conditions. In order to ensure the uninterrupted use of vehicles, the municipal company has set stricter requirements for service stations.

The service station must have

• the ability to carry out maintenance and repair of motor vehicles and mechanisms of the KP;
• a hydraulic press with a maximum force of at least 40 tons;
• the number of posts at the service station must be at least five and provide the ability to service at least four motor vehicles or mechanisms at the same time;
• equipment for diagnostics and programming of vehicle electronic systems;
• equipment for checking and adjusting the camber and convergence angles of motor vehicles' wheels.

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, 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, in January, the Odesa municipal enterprise "City Roads" held a procurement to select a supplier of asphalt mix and bitumen emulsion. The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with the peculiarity that the selected supplier, the private joint-stock company "Repair and Construction Section "Odeskolovpostach", had no competitors.
