In 2025, the state-owned enterprise “Forests of Ukraine” held tenders for the purchase of goods and services worth over UAH 10 billion, as a result of which it was able to save UAH 700 million, the press service of the state-owned enterprise reported on Tuesday.
According to the report, the top three categories of purchases were: logging and related services; fuel; vehicles, equipment, spare parts, and related services.
“97% of the procurement budget is directed through tenders on Prozorro. This is the highest figure not only since the establishment of the enterprise, but also in the entire history of Ukrainian state forestry,” the state-owned enterprise emphasized.
Lisy Ukrainy noted that the most revolutionary changes took place in the procurement of logging services, where traditionally contractors harvest about 80% of the timber, and the remaining 20% is harvested by the enterprise’s own teams. Prior to the reform, state forestry enterprises entered into direct contracts for harvesting without conducting a competitive procedure. Currently, 100% of logging services are procured through Prozorro.
The state-owned enterprise stated that since the beginning of the year, more than 2,000 tenders have been announced, and more than 1,500 procedures have been successfully completed for a total of UAH 2.7 billion.
At the same time, Lisy Ukrainy has centralized and demonopolized fuel purchases and now has several suppliers selected through tenders. The enterprise was able to save up to UAH 12 on each liter of fuel.
The state-owned enterprise added that it was able to achieve high results thanks to well-established communication with businesses, distributors, and manufacturers. This helped to adapt the terms of tenders to market realities and attract the widest possible range of participants to the tenders.
In January-June 2025, the state-owned enterprise “Forests of Ukraine” signed over 800 contracts through the Prozorro system for the harvesting of 5 million cubic meters of timber worth UAH 2.1 billion, the company’s press service reported on Telegram.
“Harvesting services account for the largest share of the company’s purchases. Traditionally, they were purchased under direct contracts. Last year, Forests of Ukraine began creating a transparent, open, and civilized timber harvesting market,” the state-owned company emphasized.
Lisy Ukrainy reminded that a number of entrepreneurs who were not used to working openly and did not accept the mechanism of public tenders resisted the reforms, but the procurement was successfully transferred to Prozorro. The state-owned enterprise demonstrated to businesses the advantages of concluding agreements through transparent, competitive auctions.
“The result is that thousands of workers are officially employed, contractors pay taxes to local budgets. There are more opportunities to monitor compliance with safety and working conditions. The opportunities for manipulation have been minimized—all contracts are published,” emphasized Lesy Ukrainy, adding that the formation of an efficient and competitive timber market is a guarantee that the company will fulfill its obligations to wood processors regarding timely deliveries of timber.
