Territorial social service center to be renovated in Odesa for 9 million

The municipal institution "Territorial Center for Social Services of Kyivskyi District of Odesa City" has announced a procurement to select a contractor to pay for the repair of its building on Varnenska Street.

The relevant information is contained in the Prozorro electronic procurement system, according to the Center for Public Investigations.

The auction with an expected purchase price of UAH 9 million 50.6 thousand is to be held on September 23, and the winning company will have to complete the work by December 1, 2025. The procurement format is open bidding with special conditions.

Open bidding with special conditions 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.

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 State Enterprise "Izmail Commercial Sea Port" has pre-selected a contractor for the reconstruction of the track development of four railway sidings on the territory of the port's production and transshipment complex at the Izmail station.

The Capital Construction Department of the Odesa City Council has also held a new tender to select a contractor to carry out repair and restoration work on the facade and roof of a building located at 15 Sofiyivska Street. The procurement was conducted without an auction. The restoration project has been adjusted and now they expect to find a company that will be paid UAH 7 million 546.5 thousand under the new tender.
