Untreated timber sale auction – take part on CE UEEX

Round timber sale at the official platform Prozorro.Sale

The auction of untreated timber in the electronic system ProZorro.Sale will help to bring the market out of the shadow. This goal was set by the Ukrainian government by adopting a resolution "On the implementation of a pilot project on electronic auctions for the sale of untreated timber". From February 1, 2020, the sale of round timber in large batches will take place at 44 official sites cooperating with the State Enterprise "Prozorro.Sale".

Auctions for sale of wood on the CE Ukrainian Energy Exchange platform

The Ministry of Energy and Environmental Protection has initiated a change in the existing procedure for auction of the harvested round timber. Numerous complaints about non-transparency and inefficiency of the current market of forest materials became a powerful impetus for the pilot project on electronic auctions for forest materials launching together with Prozorro.Sale.

Now customers of the site sale.ueex.com.ua can take part in the auction, where the round timber is formed in lots of 150 cubic meters or if the budget of the auction exceeds the amount of 200 thousand UAH. The new legislation provides that each auction of untreated timber will be held to increase the price. In case the auction did not take place, a second auction is organized, where the previous price is immediately reduced. At the same time, it should be noted that the budget of the auction for the sale of wood, which is held again, should not exceed the cost of untreated timber put up on it.

In just a month and a half of the sale of untreated timber at the electronic auctions of Prozorro.Sale forestry in Ukraine has received about 36 million UAH of profit. The first million cubic meters of forest materials have already been sold at transparent auctions (more than 4,000 of them were held). The leaders of sales were logging farms in Zhytomyr (UAH 9.7 million), Volyn (UAH 6.2 million) and Cherkasy (UAH 5.8 million) regions.
