Clinic for tax authorities in Odesa region valued at 5 million

The State Tax Service of Ukraine, the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Odesa region, has conducted a procurement to select a company to pay for services for the maintenance of clean buildings, including office premises.

The relevant information was published in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with peculiarities, although a full-fledged auction was held. There were three participants: entrepreneur Oleh Bykodiorov, private enterprise Cleaning-Pro, and Griffin Service LLC. The winner was the entrepreneur who agreed to work for UAH 5 million 340 thousand.

If the agreement is signed, the entrepreneur will have to provide cleaning services to the tax authorities until December 31, 2025.

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.

It should be noted that after the beginning of the Russian 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.

For example, the Department of Municipal Economy of the Odesa City Council chose Stroy-Invest-Group-7 Limited Liability Company as the only bidder for the right to restore an apartment building at 8-B Shevchenko Avenue, which was damaged as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation. And the Infrastructure Restoration and Development Service in Odesa Oblast selected DISK-Pivden, a private company that had previously been involved in the restoration of a nine-story building in Serhiivka damaged by Russians, as the contractor to carry out additional work on the building.

It should be noted that the State Audit Service of Ukraine published its own rating of the ten most expensive procurements for the restoration of civilian objects affected by the Russian Federation's aggression announced in late November, which was topped by two tenders from Odesa region.
