Analysts of the Territorial Department of the Economic Security Bureau in Poltava region during the analysis of purchases in the region discovered a risky tender for UAH 32 million. Money from the local budget was planned to be spent on the construction of a shelter for one of the Lubensk lyceums.

During the analytical study land management specialists established that the winner of the procurement does not have the material and technical base and equipment to perform the declared works. Analysts have also established that the head of the company is involved in criminal proceedings for embezzlement of state funds.

In order to prevent the waste of budget funds the employees of the Bureau sent a letter to the administrator with a proposal to terminate the contract. However the management of the lyceum ignored the recommendations.

However thanks to the joint cooperation of TD of the ESBU in Poltava region, the Working Group "Transparency and Accountability" under Poltava regional government and the North-Eastern office of the State Audit Service in Poltava region, on January 30, 2024, the customer and the contractor still terminated the contract.
