– she wrote.
An open tender has already been held to select the legal entity that will sell these vehicles. According to the decision of the tender committee, Tender Online was selected as the winner and a contract was signed with it.
The organiser is currently completing the valuation of the assets, after which the bidding will take place on Prozorro.Sale.
Separately, the National Agency has launched the process of selling about 1,000 tonnes of corn, more than 2,000 tonnes of wheat, more than 100 tonnes of plant protection products, almost 27,000 tonnes of iron ore, and 44,000 tonnes of potassium chloride. The company also sells computer equipment and timber. All these assets are already undergoing an independent appraisal and will be sold on Prozorro.Sale.
