Regional Council utility company to buy bedside tables for 2 million

The municipal enterprise Centralized Procurement Organization of Odesa Regional Council has announced its intention to purchase bedside tables.

The announcement was published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

Judging by the address of delivery, it is the Odesa Geriatric Nursing Home in the village of Ilicanka, Odesa Oblast. It was planned to purchase 200 bedside tables. The expected purchase price is UAH 2 million 522 thousand by December 31, 2024.

The auction is scheduled for December 16 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 in accordance with 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.

The bedside table must be designed for use in medical institutions, namely in patient rooms, and used to store patients' personal belongings. For ease of transportation, the bedside table must be equipped with wheels with transverse brakes, 50 millimeters in diameter, with a total number of at least four pieces. The bedside table shall have at least one drawer and one cabinet with a door below.
