The southern branch of the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority has conducted a tender to select a carrier that will organize transportation of port workers to work and other trips.
This is reported in the electronic procurement system Prozorro.
The auction was held on January 31 with two bidders: Ama Trans Limited Liability Company and individual entrepreneur Volodymyr Strunkov, who won the tender and agreed to work for UAH 9 million 448.4 thousand.
According to the YouControl service, the individual entrepreneur has been registered since 2010. After the agreement is signed, he will have to provide round-the-clock transportation with three minibuses 334 days a year. Drivers will have a four-hour lunch break. One additional minibus to cover business trips, weekends and holidays, and one backup minibus to provide immediate replacement in case of failure of one of the minibuses during the service.
The procurement was carried out in the format of an open tender with special conditions. Open bidding with special features means that almost all terms are shorter than those of open bidding in accordance with the Law of Ukraine 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 for 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.
