The municipal enterprise «Mykolaiv Parks» will purchase specialised street cleaning equipment — a sweeper complete with attachments.

This is evidenced by data from the ProZorro public procurement system, according to NikVesti.

The cost of the equipment was 750 thousand hryvnias. The sweeper may not be new, but the year of manufacture must be no earlier than 2008, according to the tender documents. The permissible mileage is no more than 8,000 kilometres (+5%). The machine is designed to clean roads, sidewalks and narrow streets.

The contractor must deliver the vehicle no later than 31 December. The contract was signed without a tender with a private entrepreneur, Volodymyr Ovchynnikov. The sole proprietor is registered in Mykolaiv and has been operating for 12 years, according to the YouControl analytical system. The main activity is the rental of cars and passenger vehicles. The sole proprietor has participated in tenders only twice in all the years of its operation: in 2019 — for 600,000 hryvnias and in 2025 — for 750,000 hryvnias.

A year ago, the deputies of the Mykolaiv City Council approved a loan of 43 million hryvnias for ME «Mykolaiv Parks» for the purchase of new equipment — 40% of the cost will be financed by the Danish Export Investment Fund.

New equipment for ME «Parks»

A year ago, in September 2024, deputies of the Mykolaiv City Council approved a loan of 43 million hryvnias for the municipal enterprise «Mykolaiv Parks» for the purchase of new equipment. As reported, it will be used for winter and summer cleaning of the city.

The loan amount is 60% of the total cost of the equipment, which is €1 million.

The draft decision, published on the city council website on 28 August 2024, initially stated that Denmark should finance 40% of the purchase of equipment.

However, in the updated draft decision published on the city council website on 23 September 2024, the information about the Danes' 40% funding disappeared. It only states that «part of the funds will be paid for by grants from the Danish Export Investment Fund», but it does not specify what percentage of funding is involved.

After that, the budget committee recommended that the session consider the draft decision, but only if the document states that the advance payment of 40% of the total amount will be covered by grant funds from the Danish Export Investment Fund.
