Previously rejected company wins contract for restoration of a building in Odesa for the second time without an auction

The Department of Municipal Economy of Odesa City Council has held a second procurement to select a company that will be paid to restore an apartment building at 134 Knyazia Volodymyr Velykoho (formerly Dobrovolskoho) Avenue, damaged as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.

The announcement was published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special conditions, and the only participant was the limited liability company SPK Flagman. After the deal is concluded, the company will have to complete the restoration by December 31, 2026. It plans to receive UAH 14 million 578 thousand for this.

This is the second attempt to announce a tender with the same value. For the first time, the procedure was held in April - the only participant was Flagman SPC LLC, which was recognized as the winner. However, on April 16, the procurement was canceled.

The building was damaged on March 2, 2024, when the Russians carried out a terrorist attack with Shahed-131/136 kamikaze drones in the middle of the night. The enemy sent eight attack drones from the Black Sea to Odesa region. Within an hour, air defense units were intensively repelling this attack. Seven targets were destroyed, but one of the drones hit a nine-story building in a residential area during maneuvers among Odesa's residential neighborhoods. Part of the entranceway with 18 apartments was destroyed.

At the time, in terms of the number of civilian casualties, this attack by the Russian Federation was the most massive in Odesa since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, claiming the lives of 12 civilians, five of whom were children. March 3 was declared a day of mourning in Odesa.

On April 11, 2025, at a meeting of the Standing Committee on Planning and Budget, deputies did not support the allocation of more than UAH 7 million for the completion of a shelter at 134 Prince Volodymyr the Great Avenue.

According to the YouControl service, Flagman SPC LLC was registered in Odesa in 2017. The owner is Dmytro Furman.
