Tairova Village Council Awards ₴15M Water Supply Contract to Grado Stroy

The Tairova village council in Odesa region held a procurement to select a contractor to be paid for the construction of a water supply system on Shevchenko and Nadiya streets in the village of Sukhyi Lyman in Odesa region.

According to the Prozorro electronic procurement system, the procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special conditions, and the only participant was Grado-Stroy Construction Company.

The company expects to receive UAH 15 million 231.5 thousand for this construction, and the work will have to be completed by May 31, 2025.

According to the YouControl service, Grado-Stroy Construction Company LLC was registered in 2008 and is owned by Yuriy Samoilenko from Odesa.

This is the second adjustment to the project. In November 2021, the tender for the adjusted project with an expected cost of UAH 12 million 151.7 thousand ended with the victory of Odessagrogaz Limited Liability Company. The company agreed to work for UAH 11 million 750.3 thousand, but the tender was canceled on the basis of part five of Article 32 of the Law of Ukraine "On Public Procurement" - reducing the cost of procurement of works.

In 2020, a procurement was also conducted for this water pipeline, but the cost of the work was estimated at UAH 2 million 910.3 thousand, and the winner was the communal enterprise "Housing and Communal Enterprise "Tairove", but then the agreement was terminated due to lack of funding, and before that, they tried to conduct the procurement three times, but failed.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding under the Law on Public Procurement. That is, 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.
