The administrative building in the Black Sea port will be repaired by the company that was of interest to investigators

The Black Sea branch of the state enterprise Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority in Odesa region has held a tender to select a company that will be paid for the maintenance of a fifteen-story administrative building.

The announcement was published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special features, and the only participating company was Royal Stroy Limited. If the deal is concluded, the company expects to pay UAH 6.49 million, and the work should be completed by December 31, 2026. Royal Stroy Limited LLC is an Odesa-based company founded in November 2016. The director and founder of the company is currently Sergiy Fedorov.

As noted by the publication "Anti-Corruption Dimension", the Black Sea branch of the State Enterprise "Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority" actively concluded contracts with Royal Stroy Limited LLC. Law enforcement officers became interested in this, as is known from the relevant criminal proceedings. The investigation found that this company won eight of the eleven tender procedures held by the branch in 2022-2024. These were contracts for the repair of port buildings, including the port authority, fire station, power grid buildings and other facilities. The amounts of the contracts with Royal Stroy Limited ranged from several hundred thousand hryvnias to more than eight million hryvnias.

The total value of the contracts amounted to almost UAH 25 million. The investigation believes that all the works were formally accepted and paid for, but there are suspicions that the schedule may not have been fully adhered to and the works may have been performed poorly.
