Odesa selects repairer of social service center for 9 million

The Territorial Center for Social Services (provision of social services) of the Kyiv district of Odesa has selected a company to overhaul its building at 7B Varnenska Street without an auction.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The procurement took place in the format of an open tender with a single participant - the limited liability company Construction Firm Capitalzhytlobud.

It is currently planned that after the agreement is concluded, the company will have to complete the work by December 1, 2025 and receive UAH 8 million 950.6 thousand for it. According to the YouControl service, Capitalzhytlobud Construction Firm LLC was registered in Mykolaiv in 2018. The ultimate beneficial owner is Vladyslav Romaniuk.

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 beginning of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation in 2022, 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 Road Maintenance Department of the Odesa City Council held a tender to select a contractor to be paid for the overhaul of two city streets.

The procurement was conducted in the format of open bidding with the peculiarity that Rostdorstroy Limited Liability Company had no competitors.

The company is ready to work for UAH 41 million 955.9 thousand. The works are scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2025.
