The Seaport Authority has selected a company to service boats for a year without an auction

The southern branch of the state enterprise Sea Ports Authority has conducted a procurement to select a company that will be paid for the maintenance of watercraft.

The relevant information is available in the electronic procurement system Prozorro.

The procurement was held on January 17 in the format of an open tender with special features, and the only participant was the Limited Liability Company "Production Firm "Sudoremont". The company is ready to provide the USPA with the necessary services through 2025 for UAH 3 million 110 thousand.

According to the YuoControl service, the company was registered in 1999 in Odesa. The owner is Oleksandr Veretennik.

The company has six vessels: two floating berths, one with two sections and one with one section, a bilge water collector, a tugboat, and an oil collector.

Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than they were in open bidding under the Public Procurement Law. 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 start of the full-scale 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 Territorial Department of the Bureau of Economic Security in Odesa Oblast conducted a procurement to find a company to provide it with security services and measures to protect its premises.
