On the Vidradne residential estate in Kyiv, the completion of the shelter at School No.174 finally resumed on the second attempt; construction originally began in the fall of 2023. Work will be continued by LLC “Siti Bud,” which is managed by the son of the vice president of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Rostyslav Korobka. The latter is closely connected to the previous contractor, so the change of contractor may in fact be only formal. City and district authorities assure that the shelter will be finished by the end of the current year. At the same time, against the backdrop of these statements, the completion date has already been officially moved to June 2027 due to insufficient funding.
As KV learned from the announcement in the Prozorro electronic system, in July 2026 the municipal enterprise KP “Zhytloinvestbud-UKB” (*) signed a contract with LLC “Siti Bud” (**) for the reconstruction of a nonresidential building with the addition of a shelter for School No. 174 on Akademika Shalimova Street, 43 in the Solomyanskyi district of Kyiv. The contract price is 68,42 million hryvnias.
The agreement provides for construction of the foundation, erection of walls, general construction and finishing works, installation of engineering networks, and landscaping of the adjacent territory.
The reconstruction was supposed to be completed under the contract by the end of 2026. However, on 4 August the parties signed an additional agreement to extend the completion date until June 2027 due to the lack of full funding. This year, 29,34 million hryvnias are allocated for carrying out the works.
Excerpt from the additional agreement on extending the deadlines for performing the works
Note that LLC “Siti Bud” will not perform the reconstruction solely with its own resources: the company announced the involvement of nine subcontractors: LLC “Webkom”, LLC “Sintek”, LLC “DELS”, LLC “Ukrspetsventmontazh”, SP “Lift”, LLC “Ukrinfosystemy”, LLC “NVP “Madek”, LLC “KNK-Pro” and PE “Svik”. Together they are to perform works totaling 38,16% of the contract value.
Progress of the tender
The procurement was held through open bidding, but there was effectively no competition because LLC “Siti Bud” was the only participant.
To demonstrate its capability to perform the declared works, LLC “Siti Bud” provided certificates of experience for major repairs of the State Bureau of Investigations building for 1,17 million hryvnias and the dormitory of NUBiP Ukraine for 521 thousand hryvnias.
At the end of July 2026, the State Audit Service began monitoring this procurement and found several violations. In particular, auditors determined that LLC “Siti Bud” did not document the presence of some of the equipment listed in its tender proposal — a truck crane with lifting capacity of 25 tons, an excavator, motor graders, a road roller, and a joint cutter. Auditors also found a problem with the calculation of the contract price. As a result, the State Audit Service ordered that the contract be brought into compliance with legal requirements, or, if that is impossible, that obligations under it be terminated.
Following the State Audit Service’s conclusion, “Zhytloinvestbud-UKB” decided not to terminate the contract with “Siti Bud” but to amend its terms. On 18 August the parties signed an additional agreement that reduced the contract price by approximately 18,3 thousand hryvnias — to 68,4 million hryvnias — and updated the financing plan.
Construction stages of the shelter for the school
The issue of reconstructing the nonresidential building with the attached shelter for School No. 174 began to be addressed at least three years ago. Thus, in August 2023 KP “Zhytloinvestbud-UKB” ordered the development of the working project for these works.
The first contract for the reconstruction itself was signed by the enterprise in November 2023 with LLC “BK “Praid” (***). The contract price was 61,39 million hryvnias. However, this agreement was soon terminated by mutual consent because the project and estimate documentation required adjustments and funding was lacking.
Changes to the project were commissioned in May 2024. In October, on that basis, reconstruction works were contracted for 67,89 million hryvnias to LLC “I. B. K. Development” (****), which was to complete them by March 2025. Those deadlines were postponed twice, and in the spring of 2026 the agreement was terminated by mutual consent. The contractor was paid 32,01 million hryvnias for the works actually performed.
After that, residents of the Solomyanskyi district grew increasingly concerned about the delay in completing the shelter at School No.174, since a new school year is approaching. At the same time, in June the Kyiv City State Administration (Kyiv City State Administration — KMDA) stated that they plan to complete the protective structure at the school by the end of 2026, along with eight other shelters at other capital educational institutions.
On 4 August 2026 the head of the Solomyanskyi District State Administration (RSA), Serhiy Movenko (pictured on the left in the collage), conducted a site meeting where he announced the resumption of construction work by the new contractor (LLC “Siti Bud,” – KV). He reported that representatives of the contracting organization confirmed their readiness to complete construction and commission the shelter by the end of 2026.
