But later, an additional agreement was signed, in which part of the payment for the service is to be made in 2025, which may indicate that the contractor did not meet the initially set deadlines for the modernisation.
“The Research Institute of Applied Information Technologies, which was awarded the multimillion-dollar contract, was the only participant in the tender procedure. The company is headed by Iryna Tytarenko, who, according to the registers, used to run a hairdressing business.
