The goal of the seminar is to introduce opportunities for entering the Ukrainian market through international and national public procurement. Key questions that will be addressed:How to register and where to find tenders in the Prozorro system?How to establish contacts with Ukrainian partners? Which international tenders and institutions support Ukraine’s reconstruction?

We are joining forces in preparation for the challenges and opportunities created by the Ukrainian government’s United24 Recovery initiative. In that respect, primary areas of the cooperation of the affiliated firms in the immediate future are reconstruction/construction of real estate focusing on residential, industrial and healthcare facilities as well as reconstruction of the destroyed technical infrastructure (roads, bridges, utilities).

In early August, the Government of Ukraine announced that it had adopted a decision to allow foreign companies and organizations operating in Ukraine through permanent establishments to acquire the right to carry out economic activities in the construction of facilities by filling out a declaration.

In Ukraine, the Construction Customer may be a developer at the same time, but the developer is not always the Customer of the construction project. It is the Construction Customer who has the title documents (ownership/use) for the land that is responsible for obtaining all the permits required for the design and start of construction work before obtaining a permit to put the building into operation.To date, Ukraine has a Unified State Electronic System in the field of construction (hereinafter referred to as the electronic system). All documents, from obtaining the city planning conditions and restrictions to the commissioning of the construction object, are submitted and received through the electronic system.

Pursuant to Ukrainian law, foreigners may acquire ownership of non-agricultural land plots within settlements and of non-agricultural land plots on which real estate objects belonging to them on the right of private ownership are located, outside of settlements.
