Analysts of the Territorial Department of the Economic Security Bureau in the Kyiv region have analyzed more than a thousand tender purchases for a total amount of almost UAH 6 billion since the beginning of the year.

ESBU employees pay special attention to the issue of housing reconstruction in the Kyiv region, which suffered as a result of the full-scale invasion of the Russian federation. Together with the specialists of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, the project-estimating and tender documentation in the field of construction, which was developed by communities, districts, and specialized departments of KOVA, is constantly analyzed.

"Employees of ESBU conduct daily analysis of public procurement to improve the efficiency of management decision-making. Since the beginning of the year, we have already sent 25 recommendations to service customers to prevent inefficient use of funds from the local budget. In this way, more than 686 million hryvnias of budget funds have been prevented from being wasted," - emphasized the head of TD of the ESBU in Kyiv region, Maksym Kuterga.

At the same time, the administration emphasizes that after the de-occupation of the Kyiv region, a significant percentage of the design and estimate documentation was developed at a rapid pace, taking into account the need for the immediate reconstruction of the destroyed. As a result, the quality of a considerable number of projects is extremely low, not taking into account the actual amount of work required. In addition, based on the analysis of market prices for construction materials and products, many cases of overpricing of individual positions, works, and services were found.

Currently, all work contracts are signed by KOVA divisions at dynamic prices. Taking into account the recommendations of the ESBU, they are carefully checked, and already during the signing of the acts of the completed works, they are adjusted by the estimator if necessary, which in the final result makes it possible to prevent inefficient use and waste of budget funds.

According to Ruslan Kravchenko, the Head of the Kyiv OVA, building a system so that all reconstruction processes are completely transparent is a joint task of all state bodies.

"This is a condition of people's trust and a guarantee of cooperation with international partners. To achieve a quick and effective result, it is important to coordinate the efforts of everyone without exception: law enforcement agencies, regional administration, districts and communities, anti-corruption agencies," Kravchenko believes.
