The Executive Committee of the Kherson City Council ordered souvenir cups and pens bearing the city’s symbols for a total amount of UAH 72,430.
As indicated on Prozorro, the city council concluded two contracts with Kyiv-based companies.
In particular, 430 cups with Kherson’s symbols were ordered for UAH 57,430. The cost per unit is approximately UAH 133.5.
The supplier chosen was the Kyiv-based LLC “Fractal Company”, which since 2020 has periodically sold various souvenir products to Ukrainian budget institutions.
The executive committee also ordered 500 souvenir pens with a logo that includes the coat of arms and the inscription “Kherson”. The cost of this order amounted to UAH 15,000, i.e. UAH 30 per pen.
The winner of this lot was the Kyiv LLC “Backstage Management”. Notably, the contracting authority rejected the offer of another tender participant, individual entrepreneur Olena Bielik, who proposed a price of UAH 13,700, because her proposal allegedly did not meet the requirements.
Both purchases are funded from the local budget.
