Summary of the CCIFP Rebuilding Ukraine working group meeting on public procurement

The CCIFP's Rebuilding Ukraine working group continues its activities in the form of monthly meetings. The last one took place on 18 April and was dedicated to public procurement.

The following issues were on the agenda of the meeting:

• Participation in public procurement in Ukraine from the perspective of Polish companies.
• Key features of the public procurement process in Ukraine with particular focus on construction tenders.
• Main requirements for starting a business in Ukraine in the context of participation in construction tenders.
• Joint-ventures with Ukrainian partners to participate in tender proceedings in Ukraine.

The  public electronic procurement system Prozorro and the possibilities to appeal against tender procedures were also discussed. We analysed as well the specifics of public procurement in the face of martial law in Ukraine and the main requirements for starting a business in the Ukrainian market for construction tenders.

Knowledge in the field of tenders was supplemented with the most important information in the field of public procurement of EU institutions. We discussed sources of information on planned tenders, procedures and formal requirements.

The meeting was chaired by Maksym Sysoiev, partner at Dentons in Kiev. He was accompanied by Agnieszka Gilowska from the Public Procurement and Government Contracts Law Team of Dentons' Warsaw office.
