Ukreximbank managed to buy software for 169 million, 10-25% more expensive from Naftogaz

On April 25, the joint stock company State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine, based on the results of a tender, entered into an agreement for the supply of licensed Microsoft software for UAH 169.43 million. This is reported in the Prozorro system.

The winner was DPA Kyiv LLC, which won the auction from the companies Span and Kryon Ukraine with a 2.6% discount. However, the winning prices from GPA turned out to be higher than its competitors offered to other customers this year.

The largest share in Ukreximbank's purchases was taken by office software packages M365 E5 Unified Sub Per User (AAD-33168). We ordered licenses for 2024 at 16,793 UAH/piece or $354, for 2025 at 19,865 UAH/piece or $418, for 2026 at 24,430 UAH/piece or $514. At the same time, the prices in the contract are fixed in dollars, and an increase in the dollar price of licenses is directly envisaged.
