Ukraine plans to introduce a unified methodology for procurement of related services and works in civil construction for restoration projects. The development of new standards will be carried out together with market representatives, in particular architects, engineers, as well as representatives of design and expert organizations.
This was reported by Olena Shulyak, head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on the Organization of State Power and Local Self-Government, leader of the Servant of the People party.
According to Shulyak, the development of the methodology is led by the State Agency for Reconstruction and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine, which already has experience in this field. However, the market itself is an active participant in the process along with specialists, and soon a team of experts will be formed for this purpose.
"We all realize how important it is to have a clear methodology for purchasing related services and works in construction. This will help ensure the quality and completeness of project documentation, compliance with standards during design and construction, as well as the adequacy of technical inspections," Shulyak emphasized.
She also emphasized the need to take into account the opinion of the urban and architectural community when creating new restoration standards. Thus, this meeting with the State Agency for Reconstruction and Development of Infrastructure was the first step in cooperation with the professional environment to find common points of contact and determine further steps.
"In the future, effective communication between state institutions and architects will help to improve cooperation. Therefore, it is important to develop new rules that will improve the quality of services and expertise in this field," added Shulyak.
She also noted that any monopoly on state orders is inadmissible, as all professionals must participate in the restoration of Ukrainian cities and villages on equal terms. This means the involvement of leading architectural bureaus and talented architects in the competent reconstruction of the country.
We would like to remind you that from March 2024, the digital restoration ecosystem of Ukraine DREAM (Digital Restoration Ecosystem for Accountable Management) will become operational, which will simplify the management of restoration projects and ensure their monitoring from the stage of selection to the completion of implementation.
