“Tractor and a few cars”: Shkil criticized the selection of companies for government contracts
Companies receive multi-million advance payments and government contracts despite slow progress in work, while debts accumulate for other contractors. These problems in the field of public procurement were raised by businessman Maksym Shkil, drawing attention to orders in Zakarpattia region and Kyiv Region State Administration.
He wrote about it in a post on his Facebook page.
According to Shkil, the problem lies in the approach to evaluating tender participants, when the key criterion becomes price, and the ability of a company to complete the order on time and with quality fades into the background.
He emphasizes that companies with large staff, their own machinery, equipment, and experience find themselves in unequal conditions with contractors who, in his assessment, do not have sufficient resources to fulfill multi-million contracts.
Billions in work volumes: what is known about “BudinvestAlliance”
Separately, Shkil drew attention to LLC “Construction Firm “BudinvestAlliance” (EDRPOU code 42481278). In his post, he cited the following company work volumes:
2022 year — 19,16 million UAH;
2023 year — 1,01 billion UAH;
2024 year — 739,2 million UAH;
2025 year — 623,61 million UAH;
2026 year — 1,21 billion UAH.
According to Shkil’s data, in 2026 year the company’s work volume exceeded 1,2 billion UAH.
The author of the post also claimed there could be influence from connections with government representatives on access to public orders. In particular, he asserts that in Zakarpattia region qualification requirements for participants may be formed for specific bidders.
At the same time, the stated claims require separate verification by tender documents, data about the company owners, and the circumstances of contract execution.
Advances of hundreds of millions and unfinished work
Another problematic issue Shkil named is financing contractors who, according to him, do not have enough resources to timely fulfill public orders. He claims that some advances remain unpaid for months, while other companies face delays in payments for completed work.
As an example, the businessman cited two companies that received advance payments from the Department of Regional Development of the Kyiv regional military administration:
LLC “Consulting- Bud” (EDRPOU 34531842) — 377 million UAH;
LLC “Y.B.C.” (EDRPOU 39636449) — 279 million UAH.
According to Shkil, all 23 contracts for sustainability plans were transferred to companies with a single beneficial owner. He also stated a low level of work execution and unpaid advances.
These data require verification against contracts, payment documents, and information about actual work performed.
Shkil urged revising approaches to public procurement
In the businessman’s view, the situation with government orders can negatively affect companies that have the necessary resources and perform orders but must operate under conditions of debt. He claims that as a result, enterprises reduce staff, while other contractors continue to receive substantial advances.
Shkil urged bringing issues of qualification requirements for participants in public procurement to the level of government leadership and to hold a professional discussion about the criteria for selecting contractors.
The editorial team is already preparing corresponding requests and extensive material in which it will analyze public contracts, the scale of advances, the state of work execution, and the connections of procurement participants. We will thoroughly dissect this “successful success” and find out what really stands behind these billion-dollar contracts.
Previously we reported: AUTOSTRADA CEO Maksym Shkil reported multi-billion debts for road works already performed. Due to delays in state funding, the company incurs losses and may be forced to halt road repairs, which are critically important for military logistics and the country's economy.
