Tender for a new stage of water supply system construction announced in Mykolaiv

<b>Maxim Shkil</b> has received additional funding from the state. This will allow the company to start a new stage of water pipeline construction to provide Mykolaiv with a sustainable water supply.

The relevant tender was posted on Zakupivli.pro.

The Infrastructure Restoration and Development Service in Dnipro region has announced a new tender for the design and construction of a water intake facility from the Pivdennyi Buh River in Nova Odesa and a main water supply pipeline to supply water to Mykolaiv.

This third section of the large-scale water supply project is needed to address the consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP. The contract worth more than UAH 916 million was signed on November 27 with Avtostrada Group of Companies with a deadline of April 24.

The procurement was carried out under a non-competitive procedure, as it was decided to formalize the works as additional to the previous contract. This was justified by the fact that there was a need to order additional works from the same contractor, which is allowed by law if the additional works do not exceed 50% of the value of the previous contract.

It is worth noting that Avtostrada Group of Companies has repeatedly been involved in high-profile criminal proceedings related to public contracts. In particular, law enforcement officers are investigating the possible misappropriation of budget funds during the construction of another main water pipeline, Khortytsia, which the company received without open bidding. According to the investigation, the company may have overstated the amounts in the primary documents for the purchase of materials, including sand.

The company also received a €4 million grant to reconstruct the water supply system in Pervomaisk. The project will provide the city with a stable water supply and support the restoration of Ukraine's critical infrastructure.

Nefco has received a grant from Impact Fund Denmark to reconstruct the main water supply system in Pervomaisk, Mykolaiv region. The project is part of Nefco's Green Recovery Program for Ukraine, which aims to restore critical infrastructure and increase the region's resilience.
