The state-owned joint-stock bank “Ukrgasbank” has contracted mystery shopper services worth over 1 million hryvnias. The bank conducted the procurement through the Prozorro system in late December 2025, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".

According to the tender data, Ukrgasbank ordered mystery shopper services for 1,087,512 UAH, which involve assessing the quality of customer service at the bank’s branches “in accordance with the Customer’s technical documentation.”

The winner of the procurement was Forservice UA Sales LLC, which submitted the sole bid. Since there were no competitors, the procedure was completed without an auction. According to the terms of the procurement, the winner must provide “mystery shopper” services by December 1, 2026.
