On 17 October 2008, new public procurement procedures were introduced by a Cabinet of Ministers resolution.
The resolution enables the completion of all procurements initiated under the temporary procedure adopted in March 2008, which was recently declared to be unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court.
It also sets out new cost thresholds of UAH 300,000 (US$ 60,000) for public works and UAH 100,000 (US$ 20,000) for goods and services procured on or after 17 October 2008. However, this does not affect international procurement agreements as these are already governed by separate provisions relating to international contracts.
Responsibility for coordinating and controlling public procurement has been given to a new Advisory and Methodological Council established within the Ministry of Economy.
Law: Resolution No.921 on Approving the Procedure for Public Procurement of Goods, Works and Services replacing Temporary Procedure for Public Procurement No. 274 dated 28 March 2008
