Tenders for Ukraine | Current status, rules of participation and prospects

7 July 2022 | Knowledge, News

Rebuilding infrastructure and meeting the current needs of citizens are among the most important tasks facing Ukraine today.

This requires not only funds, but above all effective planning and execution – which in practice amounts to tenders and procurement processes.

More than 100 such tenders have been held in just the past few weeks.

Public procurement has several sources of funding. These include international organisations such as the World Bank, the United Nations, EU Member States and the USA, and of course the Ukrainian government.

As a result, today there is no single central point where information on ongoing and planned tenders can be obtained, and this can make it difficult for businesses to access comprehensive information and can consequently prevent them from being able to compete effectively with others.

On 29 June, Jakub Krysa, Markiyan Malskyy and Michał Waraksa conducted a webinar, during which Polish and foreign entrepreneurs had the opportunity to obtain a wealth of valuable information, including:

  • Where to get information on planned tender processes?
  • What is the current status of procurements for Ukraine?
  • How are the tender processes being conducted in practice, and what procedures can be expected by those taking part in them?
  • How to effectively participate in these processes?

In addition, the speakers presented the most interesting ongoing tenders and the tools that can assist businesses to compete effectively in this market.

Return deposits like VAT? The elephant in the room: the risks of the deposit-return system

The deposit-return system was supposed to be simple. Eco-friendly. Leak-proof. Tax-neutral. However, it took just a few months for serious doubts to emerge. The first loopholes are no longer just theoretical, they are in plain sight. The mechanisms for abuse can be described quite precisely, and the scale of potential losses may be much greater than anticipated. Below, we examine where the system is losing control and how this can be addressed.

NZIA – “Made in Europe” becomes a condition of market participation in the energy sector

The European Union has adopted a strategic course aimed at building its own production capacity in key technology sectors, including energy technologies. This policy is embodied in the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), which redefines the rules of competitiveness, inter alia, in the renewable energy sector. In tenders, auctions and public support schemes, price is no longer the sole criterion for selecting a supplier. The NZIA imposes on contracting authorities and entities administering support schemes an obligation to evaluate bids also on the basis of the origin of the technology and other criteria specified in the Regulation. This change is systemic in nature and will affect all market participants – both producers and purchasers of energy technologies. In this article, I analyse how the new EU regulations will translate into business practice for companies operating in the European market.

When verifying eligibility for this exemption, is the company required to check whether the recipient of the dividend is its beneficial owner (BO)? It transpires that the Director of the National Revenue Administration Information Centre (KIS) and the Minister of Finance offer completely different answers to this question. What does this mean in practice? Let’s take a look.
