ViK TECHNOLOGIES LLC filed a complaint about discriminatory conditions of tender documentation. By the decision of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, the complaint was satisfied. Among other discriminatory conditions, one can highlight the fact that the Customer in his tender documentation noted excessively large installation requirements for horizontal directional drilling with a pulling force of 76 tons, which limited the right to participate in the procurement procedure for business entities that can perform the specified work with horizontal directional drilling rigs with appropriate characteristics for this. According to the conclusions made by qualified specialists of the SE “Research Institute of Building Production” based on the results of the relevant calculations, these works can be carried out by installing the GSB with a pulling force of only up to 10 tons. That is, these works do not require

attracting such a powerful GSB installation, which the Tender documentation needs in the tender, having established a requirement for the pulling force of the GSB installation of at least 76 tons.

It should also be noted that the discriminatory technical specifications indicated in the tender documentation were met by the same ROBBINS GSB installation, which was present on a rental basis, at LLC BUDMIR, LLC KSK-UKRAINE, LLC D-GROUP ENGINEERING
