"The Embassy of the United States of America in Kyiv, Ukraine, intends to issue a firm fixed price purchase order as a sole source award to Artellence Ukraine, LLC," the document published on Wednesday said.
The deal is being conducted without a tender. The justification states that NABU employees have already undergone training and are using the platform in their work.
"NABU personnel are already trained in Artellence software, and the platform has demonstrated its ability to support NABU's anti-corruption mission effectively. Artellence software is ready for immediate implementation, ensuring NABU can maintain momentum in its operations without unnecessary delays," the document read.
The $40,000 purchase order will cover a 12-month subscription to the "Expert" plan. This subscription includes 20 user accounts, an annual allowance of 20,000 requests for information retrieval, and access to the system's administration-level resources.
On November 11, NABU charged seven members of a criminal organization involved in corruption in the energy sector.
There are frequent reports of corruption in Ukraine, particularly in the military sector. According to a survey published by the Ukrainska Pravda newspaper in April 2024, more than half of Ukraine's population considers corruption to be the greatest threat to the country's development.
