Video communication systems to be purchased for courts in Odesa region for 9 million

The territorial department of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine in Odesa region has announced its intention to purchase video conferencing systems.

This is stated in the Prozorro e-procurement system.

It is about 59 sets of equipment to provide audio and video recording, courtroom protocols and videoconferencing.

The equipment is to be distributed as follows:

• Prymorskyi District Court of Odesa is to receive five sets;
• Kyiv District Court of Odesa - one set;
• Suvorovsky District Court of Odesa - five sets;
• Malynovskyi District Court of Odesa - 10 sets;
• Territorial Department of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine in Odesa Region - 38 sets.

The auction in the format of open bidding with special features is scheduled to be held on December 3 with an expected purchase price of UAH 9 million 563.9 thousand. Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding in accordance with 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.
