The Fund’s e-procurement process is managed by UTA-Sweco, the procurement agent responsible for supplier selection and negotiating Supply Agreement terms, while the Energy Community Secretariat oversees payment execution to ensure transparency and financial accountability.
In September 2026, the Fund launched a list of live tenders under the UESF, updated every three weeks to keep suppliers informed of current opportunities. Potential suppliers are encouraged to check the list regularly and act promptly on relevant tenders.
A dedicated e-procurement platform and instructional video provide guidance on the procurement process, including key steps, stakeholder roles, required forms, and timelines.
Under the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, the “Ray of Hope” initiative focuses on improving the energy independence of Ukraine’s healthcare facilities through
- the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and,
- autonomous backup power solutions.
Managed by the Energy Community Secretariat in collaboration with Urban Technology Alliance LP, the project invites companies to participate in competitive tenders aimed at delivering renewable energy solutions that ensure continuous hospital operations—even in crisis conditions.
To streamline the acquisition of needed equipment and services, the Secretariat launched an “Express Your Interest” mechanism. This process allows suppliers to proactively indicate their ability to provide specific items aligned with Ukraine’s urgent energy needs. Participation involves a two-step process:
-
Complete the vendor template, providing detailed information on available equipment or services.
-
Submit the completed template via the online questionnaire hosted on the Secretariat’s website.
Suppliers whose offerings match current procurement needs may be contacted for further engagement.
