Ukrainian ports are preparing for the ice campaign: USPA announced new tenders

The Sea Ports Administration of Ukraine has announced new procurements for the services of vessels for operation in ice conditions.

This is evidenced by data from the electronic public procurement system Prozorro.

In particular, the Black Sea branch of the USPA plans to attract vessels for operation in ice conditions. The expected cost of the services is about 5.54 million UAH.

This is the second attempt to order such services. The previous tender, announced on October 21 with a similar expected cost, did not take place due to the lack of proposals from participants.

Under the terms of the previous procurement, the Black Sea branch planned to order 32 hours of operation of vessels with a capacity of at least 1,500 and 2,500 horsepower. The term for the provision of services was set until December 31, 2027.

At the same time, the Izmail branch of the USPA on November 12 also announced an open tender with specifics for the services of vessels in ice conditions. The expected cost of the procurement is UAH 1 million.

The acceptance of tenders under both new procedures is scheduled to be completed on November 28.

A separate procurement related to the preparation of the Pivdenny port was also announced on November 12.

Earlier, the Pivdenny branch of the USPA had already announced a tender for similar services on September 24. Its expected cost was over UAH 4.96 million, but the procurement did not take place.
