Over 160 million in losses at a tender: how a blocked cartel is returning to public procurement
SE Defense Procurement Agency #АОЗ signed a scandalous contract worth 413 million hryvnias with LLC #УКРТАК.UA to supply 35 thousand sets of covers for ballistic vests at a price of almost 12 thousand hryvnias per unit with no ceramic plates.
📌The market value of such an item in a wholesale order is at most 6 thousand hryvnias, which creates direct losses to the state budget of more than 160 million hryvnias. The contract contains onerous terms with one hundred percent advance payment and a delivery schedule stretched over nearly a year, which turns defense spending into an interest-free loan for a private entity.
The procurement qualification requirements were deliberately narrowed to favor a specific winner, while other companies were rejected due to formal nonconformities.
The true beneficiary of the scheme is the business group #Мітрохін, which previously received sanctions and a ban on participating in tenders from the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine for cartel collusion by decision number 1080-r. To circumvent the restrictions, the organizers involved the clone company LLC #СУПЕРМІК, which fully inherited the material base and resources of the sanctioned enterprise LLC #МІК. ❗️Thanks to an additional agreement signed by the customer’s officials, this clone was officially introduced into the production process alongside UKRTAK UA.
In addition to inflated prices and cartel schemes, the supplier company's management uses open accounts at PrivatBank, Alfa-Bank, and PUMB to siphon funds and evade taxes.
✅We have already submitted an official complaint and demand that NABU, the SBI, the BEB, the Office of the Prosecutor General, and other competent authorities immediately enter the information into the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations, conduct a full audit of financial operations, verify the legality of advance payments, and bring the responsible officials to criminal liability.
