Transcarpathian prosecutors had the results of illegal tender canceled

The economic court of the Transcarpathian region upheld the claim of the prosecutor’s office in Transcarpathian region to invalidate the decision adopted by the tender committee of the municipal economy department of the executive committee of the Mukachevo city council following the open bidding for the purchase of works for the construction of a water supply and sewerage system in the amount of UAH 11.5 million. The agreement concluded on the basis of that tender was declared invalid.  

The lawsuit was filed by the prosecutor’s office in the interests of the state represented by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, the Western Office of the State Audit Service against the Municipal Economy Department of the Mukachevo City Executive Committee and the private enterprise – the winner of the open bidding.  

Thus, the prosecutor’s office proved in court that the company’s tender proposal, which was declared the winner in the open bidding, did not meet the necessary requirements and did not confirm the participant’s compliance with the qualification criteria.  

Now the court decision is expected to enter into force. 

Also, the investigators of the Transcarpathian regional police are carrying out a pre-trial investigation over the incident in a criminal proceeding with the preliminary legal classification under Part 2 of Art. 346 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (abuse of power or official position). The procedural control over the course of this investigation is being carried out by the prosecutor’s office in Transcarpathian region.
