Parasyuk’s friends began winning tenders after he became a member of parliament
Companies owned by the friends of Ukrainian MP Volodymyr Parasyuk and their partners began to win tenders actively after he became an MP
In 2015 year, companies owned by his aide and his partners won state tenders totaling 23 million hryvnias.
The two enterprises are from Lviv region – LLC “Etalon-Kom” and LLC “Center for Construction Technologies.” Both enterprises are directly connected with the deputy’s aide Parasyuk — Roman Lobay.
Lobay is the head of the company “Etalon-Kom.” According to documents, de jure owner of this enterprise since 2007 year is Yuriy Androsyuk, with whom Lobay studied at the Lviv Commercial Academy. In addition, Lobay is the head of another firm with a similar name — “Etalon-Pro.” Also, the “Etalon” name appears in the name of the KVN team in which Volodymyr Parasyuk previously performed.
Moreover, up to 2011 year, Roman Lobay was the owner of another mentioned tender scheme enterprise — “Center for Construction Technologies.”
From the list of managers of the following Lviv enterprises, which often participate in the same tenders, one can judge the existing connection of Lobay with the “Center”:
LLC “Center for Construction Technologies” — Kuchma Ihor. LLC “Etalon-Kom” — Lobay Roman, Gorbunov Oleksandr, Prendkevich Iryna. LLC “Etalon-Pro” — Yermak Mykhailo, Lobay Roman. LLC “Zubr” — Yermak Mykhailo, Kuchma Ihor, Gorbunov Oleksandr.
As we can see, Lobay is a partner of Gorbunov in “Etalon-Kom” and of Yermak in “Etalon-Pro,” which, in turn, are partners in “Zubr” of the current owner of the “Center” Ihor Kuchma.
Thus, according to the information in the “State Procurement Bulletin,” LLC “Etalon-Kom” and the “Center for Construction Technologies,” which are connected with Parasyuk’s aide, have won since 2015—3 state tenders totaling about 23 million hryvnias.
All would be fine if both Lobay-connected enterprises did not participate in all 3 tenders simultaneously. According to tender procedures, firms owned by or connected with the same person should not be admitted. Therefore there is reason to suppose that while preparing tender proposals, these enterprises had arrangements to secure the victory for one of Lobay’s enterprises.
Such connections between participants in the state tender competition have signs of anti-competitive collusive actions that distort bidding results and violate the Ukrainian laws “On Public Procurements” and “On the Protection of Economic Competition.”
In the competition for the major repair of a building of a school on Kulparkivska Street, 182 (Lviv) LLC “Etalon-Kom” won. The tender price was 14,29 million hryvnias.
In the competition for reconstruction with construction of a school building on Doroha Kryvchytska Street, 3 (Lviv) the winner was LLC “Center for Construction Technologies.” The tender price was 4, 9 million hryvnias.
And in state tenders for the major repair of a preschool educational institution on Smilykh Street, 26 (Lviv) also won LLC “Center for Construction Technologies.” The price — almost 4 million hryvnias.
It is worth noting that Roman Lobay not only helps MP Parasyuk, but also pays rent for the deputy’s reception office in Lviv.
