With the declared contract value of UAH 1 billion 951 million 009.4 thousand including VAT, the price of the tender offer of KVSZ after the auction was UAH 1 billion 951 million 008.6 thousand including VAT.

According to the contract payment terms published in Prozorro, an advance payment of 65% is due 14 days after the invoice date. Full payment is made 30 calendar days after delivery of the goods in the amount of 35% of the contract amount.

Earlier, in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine, Yevhen Lyashchenko, Chairman of the Board of Ukrzaliznytsia, said that the company would soon hold a tender for the purchase of 44 new passenger cars for UAH 1.9 billion, and in 2024 another tender for the purchase of 100 cars at the expense of the state budget, for about UAH 5 billion.
