"Odesmiskelektrotrans plans to pay 12 million for security

The municipal enterprise Odesa Heat Supply has announced that it is looking for a company to pay for security services.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

We are talking about the utility company's facilities at the following addresses:

• 1 Vodoprovodna Street - operational tram depot No. 1, administrative building, VMTZ warehouses.
• 1 Polevyi lane, 1 - operational tram depot No. 2.
• 5/1 Inglesi Street - trolleybus depot.
• 21a Alekseevskaya Square - track and structure repair service.
• 8/1 Zooparkova Street - energy management service.
• 9, 3rd Pervomaisky Lane - motor transport service.

The winner of the tender is expected to provide 17 security posts and maintain 33 video surveillance cameras. The expected value of the purchase is UAH 12 million 158.4 thousand. The auction is scheduled for December 18 in the format of open bidding with special conditions.

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, 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.

For example, the public utility company City Roads held a tender to select a company to be paid for restoring the road surface after emergency repairs to heating networks in Odesa. The tender with an expected procurement value of UAH 34 million 666.3 thousand was held on November 12 in the format of an open tender with special conditions. The winning company will have to work until December 31, 2024. It was the only bidder, Rostdorstroy Limited Liability Company. The company expects to receive UAH 34 million 579.3 thousand if the deal is concluded.
