The "Production Support Center" branch of JSC "Ukrainian Railways" 12 June, following a tender, ordered railway equipment from JSC "Dnipropetrovsk Switch Plant" for 312,85 million UAH.
This is reported in the Prozorro system.
This year the manufacturer must deliver switch turnouts, blind crossings, diamond crossings and crossings not earlier than 2026 year of manufacture, the list of which with prices is given below.
In particular, switch turnouts type R65 brand 1/9 track 1520 for laying on reinforced concrete sleepers of project M2215.00.000-18; (-19) were ordered for 2,30 million UAH, or $51 276. In August 2025 the "PSC" ordered them from the plant for 2,09 million UAH, or $50 806, which was 1% cheaper in dollars.
Switch turnouts type R65 brand 1/11 track 1435 mm for laying on reinforced concrete sleepers (for electrical interlocking) of project Dn 329.00.000; (-01) cost 3,85 million UAH, or $85 795. A year ago they cost 3,50 million UAH, or $85 010, which was also 1% cheaper in dollars.
Since then the price of steel on the LME exchange has risen by 14%. At the date of signing last year’s contract it was $346 per ton, and this year – $401 per ton. And in June it already began to decline.
And the largest share of funds now falls on welded switch turnouts type R65 brand 1/11 track 1520 mm for laying on reinforced concrete sleepers of project 345.00.000-08; (-09) for 2,93 million UAH, or $65 292. They were not purchased last year. In November 2024 they cost 2,60 million UAH, or $62 929, which was 4% cheaper in dollars, but there were no deliveries under the contract. Earlier, in April–October 2023 they were ordered for 2,35 million UAH, or $64 428, which was 1% cheaper in dollars. Thus, the dollar price of this item has also not changed significantly in recent years.
An anonymous person asked to raise the expected amount by 1%, but the customer replied that there were no grounds.
The plant received the order without competition because no one else came to the open tender.
