This forms part of the major refurbishment of the rehabilitation ward, for which a total of almost 50 million hryvnias has been allocated.
This is according to data from the Prozorro system.
The contracting authority is the Department of Urban Planning, Architecture, Capital Construction and Development Project Support of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration. The estimated value of the tender is 3,217,000 hryvnias. Participants may submit their bids until 4 August, with the auction scheduled for the same day. The work must be completed by 31 December 2026.
In a comment to NikVesti, the Capital Construction Department of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration explained that the announced tender concerns the procurement of a lift, its installation and commissioning works.
This is the final stage of the project to carry out major refurbishment of the third floor of the hospital’s rehabilitation ward.
«According to officials, the main works were funded using funds allocated under Resolution №271 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 7 March 2025. At the same time, co-funding from the regional budget amounting to 3.2 million hryvnias, required for the purchase of the lifts, was delayed due to the specifics of budgetary legislation. The funds were only allocated in the third quarter of 2026, after which an open tender was announced,» the department reported.
It should be recalled that in 2025, the Department of Urban Development of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration announced a tender worth almost 47 million hryvnias for the major refurbishment of the third floor of the rehabilitation ward at the War Veterans’ Hospital.
The project involves a complete refurbishment of the premises for patients undergoing rehabilitation following injuries and illnesses. In particular, the plans include fitting out universal toilets and shower facilities for people with reduced mobility, creating special sanitary and hygiene rooms for patients requiring assistance from medical staff, as well as refurbishing wards, physiotherapy rooms and sanitary facilities.
In addition, the project includes replacing doors and windows, installing bumpers and handrails, and modernising the ventilation, heating, water supply, drainage, electrical systems, lighting and fire alarm systems.
There are also plans to equip the rehabilitation ward with modern medical and rehabilitation equipment, bedside medical panels and an oxygen supply system, as well as to replace two hospital lifts used to transport patients, a passenger lift for people with reduced mobility and a goods lift for food delivery.
In March 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine allocated nearly 50 million hryvnias for the implementation of this project as part of the Ministry of Health’s investment programmes.
