A specialized installation and maintenance unit of the Odesa City Council has selected a company to apply horizontal road markings with two-component plastic on three streets of the city.
According to the announcement published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system, the streets in question are Kolontaievska, Degtyarna, and Lustdorfska roads from Vodoprovodna Street to Chernyshevskoho Street.
The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with the participation of only one limited liability company, Foxroad. According to the YouControl service, the company was registered in Kyiv in 2021 and is mainly engaged in road construction. The ultimate beneficial owner is Tetiana Bila.
Therefore, if the agreement is concluded, the LLC will have to apply horizontal road markings with two-component cold-applied plastic and arrange horizontal road markings with marking road inserts by December 31 and plans to receive UAH 3 million 560 thousand for this.
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 beginning of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation in 2022, 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.
In July, SMEP chose the same company to apply road markings on Sakharova, Marselska, Ataman Holovaty, and Genoese streets for UAH 5 million 781,500, also without an auction.
