Ovidiopol hospital offered 23 million for the second time to repair the 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 Prozorro electronic procurement system.

A new auction with an expected purchase price of UAH 23 million 323.6 thousand is scheduled for January 7 in the format of open bidding with special features, and the winning company will have to complete the work by May 31, 2026.

The hospital announced the previous tender in August. However, in September, the hospital received a report from the chief engineer and minutes of a working group meeting that considered changes to the design and estimate documentation. The working group concluded that there was a need to cancel the bidding on the basis of clause 50 of the Special Provisions, namely, when the procurement became impossible due to force majeure circumstances.

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.
