The ProZorro electronic procurement system has published tender from Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo public joint-stock company for the purchase of an APPLE iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB Natural Titanium. Its price is UAH 68,499. ProZorro indicates that there is already a winner of the tender - Epicenter K LLC - and that the contract was signed on January 13. The mobile phone should be delivered to the company by the end of March.
However, Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo PJSC in its telegram channel statedthat Epicenter K LLC denies the fact that Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo PJSC purchased an Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max mobile phone.
Halushchenko commented on the scandal during an hour of questions to the government in parliament.
We will definitely look into it, it sounds a little bit wild to me that they are buying iPhones. But if this is confirmed, of course, appropriate decisions will be made
