Odessa Medical Supply Base Awards ₴31M Drug Contract to Kyiv

The municipal institution Odesa Regional Special Medical Supply Base has conducted a procurement for the purchase of medicines.

The relevant information was published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

It is about almost 200 items of medicines that the institution expects to receive by the end of the year. The procurement was conducted in the format of open bidding with special features, and the only participant was KhLR Limited Liability Company. The company expects to receive UAH 30 million 994.9 thousand if the deal is concluded.

The company was registered in Kyiv in 2019 and its owner, according to the YouControl service, is a citizen of the United Kingdom, Ronald Rainer.

This is not the first time that the company has won procurements in Odesa from the Odesa Regional Special Medical Supply Base. In March, the institution entered into an agreement with KhLR LLC for the supply of medicines. The amount to be received by the company under this agreement was UAH 12 million 734.2 thousand. The procurement was also conducted in the format of open bidding with special features.

In 2024, "KhLR" LLC received UAH 556 million 460.4 thousand through public procurement, and since the beginning of 2025 - UAH 352 million 174.9 thousand.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding under the Law on Public Procurement. That is, 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.
