Ukrzaliznytsia will buy 10 thousand tons of diesel fuel from Ukrnafta

Ukrzaliznytsia JSC (UZ) will purchase 10 thousand tons of diesel fuel from state-owned Ukrnafta PJSC following the fourth tender for the purchase of diesel fuel through Prozorro Market, the company said in a telegram on Wednesday.
According to the release, Ukrnafta offered the best price of UAH 50.97 thousand per ton.
It is noted that Ukrzaliznytsia will sign a contract with the winner in the near future. It is specified that all diesel should be painted to prevent theft.
Earlier, UZ has already purchased 25 thousand tons of diesel fuel through Prozorro Market at prices of UAH 50.5 – 52.9 thousand per ton. The company notes that, taking into account the Platts indices at the time of the selection of the winners, this corresponds to the prices of direct contracts with European producers, including all related costs for delivery and customs clearance.
In particular, in June 2024, Ukrnafta was awarded contracts for the supply of 15 thousand tons. In July, the winner of the tender for 10 thousand tons was Sokar Ukraine Trading House LLC.
It is noted that both winners at the stage of their registration in the electronic catalog of the electronic procurement system were qualified by the Professional Procurement State Enterprise and guaranteed that their products were not of Russian, Belarusian or Iranian origin.
As reported, UZ used to buy diesel directly from European producers, but in April 2024, after amendments to a government decree, the company no longer has this option and can only buy diesel through Prozorro.
