Odesa Hospital Tenders for 50 Pediatric Beds at ₴11.7M - Auction on March 18

The municipal non-profit enterprise Children's City Clinical Hospital No. 3 in Odesa has announced a tender to select a company to pay for medical functional beds.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

It is about 50 pediatric beds with a mattress and an infusion stand and 42 pediatric functional beds of type 1.

The auction with an expected purchase price of UAH 11 million 668 thousand is to be held on March 18. The format is open bidding with special conditions.

Open bidding with peculiarities implies 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, 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.

For example, in February 2025, the City Clinical Hospital No. 11 of the Odesa City Council held a tender to select a company that would sell it a common ultrasound imaging system. Medholding Limited Liability Company had no competitors.

Also, the municipal enterprise Service Center announced a tender to select a company that will be paid for the overhaul of the civil defense building on Bohdan Khmelnytsky Street.
