Renovation of a school in Odesa has risen in price by 14 million

The Capital Construction Department of the Odesa City Council has announced a search for a contractor to overhaul Odesa Specialized Secondary School No. 49 under an amended project.

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

The auction with an expected purchase price of UAH 14 million 570.3 thousand is to be held on December 9 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 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 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.

It should be noted that in April 2020, the department held an auction with the participation of two companies: Ukrpudkonstruktsion Limited Liability Company and Takom-Gloria South LLC. The latter was the winner. An agreement was signed with Takom-Gloria South LLC to carry out the repairs for UAH 32 million 556.5 thousand. The repairs were supposed to be completed by March 31, 2021, but after a series of additional agreements, the completion date was pushed back to December 31, 2024.
