School breadwinner to be elected in Khadzhybey district of Odesa for 10 million

The Center for Financing and Economic Activities and Institutions of the Education System of Khadzhibey District of Odesa has announced a tender to select a company that will supply food for schoolchildren.

The announcement was published in the Prozorro e-procurement system.

It concerns meals for students in grades 1-4. The number of children to be fed is 4,968. Including: the number of children who will be fed breakfast - 4 thousand 246, the number of children who will eat lunch - 722. Number of days of meals: 35 days. The number of children and the number of days of meals are indicative and subject to change.

The auction in the format of open bidding with special features is to be held on October 25. The winning company will have to provide meals until December 31, 2024.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than in open bidding under the Public Procurement Law. 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, the year before last, 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. The government temporarily canceled electronic auctions. Since then, tenders announced in Prozorro can be held without an auction.

Earlier, the Department of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports of the Starokozatske Village Council of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi District, Odesa Oblast, held a procurement to select a company that would provide catering services to schoolchildren. The only participant and, accordingly, the winner of the tender was individual entrepreneur Natalia Khlivna.
