In Mykolaiv, a further 11 million hryvnias are set to be allocated for the refurbishment of the canteen at Gymnasium №46 — additional work has arisen following adjustments to the project.

The main contract for the renovation of the canteen was signed back in October 2024 with the company «Tanolbud». Its value was 22.25 million hryvnias. However, to date, the company has received only 11.4 million hryvnias of this sum, according to data from Spending, a website monitoring the use of public funds.

The project and the cost estimate were subsequently revised. It then emerged that additional work was required to complete the refurbishment. The cost of this work amounts to 11 million hryvnias — almost half the value of the original contract.

No new tender will be held for this. The additional works have been commissioned from the same company — «Tanolbud». The law permits this if the works are related to the main contract and their cost does not exceed 50 per cent of the contract price. In this case, the additional works account for 49.66 per cent.

According to the documents, the renovation of the catering block will, in particular, involve work on ventilation, lighting, flooring and finishes. The project also includes plumbing, sinks, touchless taps and a drinking fountain.

The additional works are to be completed by 30 October 2026.
