Public Procurement in Kyiv, Odesa, and Kharkiv

SERVICES AND INFORMATION

Public Procurement

The firm’s public procurement practice is one of the most experienced in Ukraine, encompassing all types of procurement procedures, tender challenges, bidder protection, and interaction with regulatory authorities. We advise state-owned enterprises and public authorities, as well as Ukrainian and international companies participating in tenders, on public procurement procedures in Ukraine and the European Union.

Our team has extensive experience representing clients in appeal proceedings before the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU), including complex disputes involving wrongful disqualification, rejection of bids, and breaches of procurement procedures. We support clients at all stages – from the preparation and publication of tender documentation to the judicial review of tender results.

TRUST IN THE COMPANY

Our cases

Protecting trademark rights of Latvian pharmaceutical company “Kalceks” in Ukraine for “Promedol”
- #Pharmaceuticals
- #Intellectual Property
Result
"Promedol" was ruled by the Supreme Court to be an international non-proprietary name (INN) of a medicinal product and therefore cannot form the basis for a trademark, as it would cause monopolization and unfair competition in the market. An official publication of the invalidation of the Ukrainian manufacturer's certificates for the "Promedol-ZN" and "Promedol" trademarks was ordered by the Court.

Mikhail I. Ilyashev
Attorney at Law, Managing Partner, Honored Lawyer of Ukraine, Head of Corporate and M&A Practice
Legal support for ESTDEV international technical assistance projects in Ukraine
- #Non-Profit Organizations
- #Tax Law
Result
Within the donor-funded infrastructure projects of the Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV), a regulatory and tax framework for their implementation was developed and the projects were registered as International Technical Assistance projects. Application of the ITA regime made it possible to preserve tax incentives, including VAT exemption, and to ensure uninterrupted funding and project execution with a foreign donor.

Oleksandr Y. Fefelov
Attorney at Law, Partner, Head of Antitrust and Competition Practice
First-ever application of definitive anti-dumping duties in Ukraine for circumvention of trade restrictions
- #International Trade
Result
The Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade has, for the first time in Ukraine, imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of goods from Malaysia due to the circumvention of duties previously introduced on products originating from the PRC. The duty rates were set at up to 67.40%. The decision established the precedent for counteracting the circumvention of trade restrictions through a change of the country of origin of goods.

Olena L. Omelchenko
Attorney at Law, Partner, Head of International Trade Practice
Advising Ukrainian Red Cross Society on the legal regulation of the Mobile Health Units Program
- #Medicine & Healthcare
