Ovidiopol Hospital Offered 23 Million for Repair of Department

The municipal non-profit enterprise Ovidiopol Hospital, located in Odesa region, has announced a tender to select a company to pay for the overhaul of the therapeutic department.

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

The auction with an expected purchase price of UAH 23 million 323.6 thousand is scheduled for September 3 in the format of open bidding with special conditions, and the winning company will have to complete the work by May 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, after the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, 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 Capital Construction Department of the Odesa City Council re-conducted a tender to select a company that will be paid more than UAH 175 million for the reconstruction of the Maternity Hospital No. 5 buildings. Inzh-Stroy, a limited liability company that had no competitors, is expected to sign the agreement.

The Capital Construction Department of Odesa City Council has also selected a contractor for the repair and restoration of the surgical pavilion, which is part of the City Clinical Hospital No. 1. The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special conditions, and Exterior Design LLC had no competitors. Therefore, the company expects to receive UAH 167 million 938 thousand for the work after the conclusion of the agreement.
