Ukrainian tax authorities ordered office cleaning for UAH 1.5 million: the list of “whims” is impressive

Tax officials from the Ivano-Frankivsk region decided to invest almost one and a half million hryvnia in creating an ideal office. The tender for cleaning the premises promises that after this the office will sparkle with cleanliness and order.

Having offered a tender in the amount of UAH 1,468,800, they are waiting for approval and candidates for the role of service personnel.

It’s unlikely that anyone would have thought that the request included more than just traditional office cleaning. Detailed instructions with requirements and conditions were written in the attached document on several A4 sheets.

The employees who created this document really did their best, clarifying the frequency and frequency of performing these works.

Here is an example of some requirements:

• Mowing and raking grass clippings on lawns, removing weeds from flower beds, watering lawns and flower beds.
• Removing dust from vertical and horizontal surfaces no higher than 200 cm.
• Removing local contamination from walls, doors, closers, door blocks, door handles.
• Washing soap dishes from soap residues.
• Cleaning upholstered furniture using special detergents.
• No accumulation of dirt and dust on the glass and frames, smudges, stains, fingerprints, dirty stains, splashes and drops of cleaning agent, halos, haze, and lint residue from the cleaning cloth.

Tax officials from the Ivano-Frankivsk region decided to carry out the revolution in a clean and orderly manner. The absence of fingerprints on mirrors and pleasant aromas in toilets are what they value. And all this for only 1.5 million hryvnia.

Let’s say there is logic in this: somehow we need to justify such means. Maybe they threw their office a “messy” party so they could then have a cleaning competition.

Or maybe the tax authorities decided that the cleaner their office was, the stronger it would influence businessmen, motivating them to pay their taxes?
