3 awards, 3.73 million manats, one supplier — a concentration signal at Shusha reserve administration

AZTender's data cut of 3 October 2026 shows Shusha City State Reserve Administration recording three award records for AQROMAN LLC worth 3,727,619.27 AZN, published between 23 July and 18 August 2026.

AZTender's data cut of 3 October 2026 shows a single buyer, Shusha City State Reserve Administration ("ŞUŞA ŞƏHƏRİ DÖVLƏT QORUĞU İDARƏSİ" PUBLİK HÜQUQİ ŞƏXSİ), recording three award records for a single supplier, AQROMAN LLC ("AQROMAN" Məhdud Məsuliyyətli Cəmiyyəti), worth 3,727,619.27 AZN combined, published between 23 July and 18 August 2026 across three different scopes of work.

The numbers

Item Value
Buyer Shusha City State Reserve Administration ("ŞUŞA ŞƏHƏRİ DÖVLƏT QORUĞU İDARƏSİ" PUBLİK HÜQUQİ ŞƏXSİ)
Supplier AQROMAN LLC ("AQROMAN" Məhdud Məsuliyyətli Cəmiyyəti)
Awards 3 award records in 180 days
Combined total 3,727,619.27 AZN
Largest single award 2,101,467.79 AZN, published 7 August 2026 (restoration and conservation of three architectural monuments)
Window 23 July – 18 August 2026 (about four weeks)

What the number is not

The 3.73 million figure sums three award records across three scopes — external electricity supply for a State Services Centre (247,006.81 AZN, 23 July 2026), restoration and conservation of three architectural monuments (2,101,467.79 AZN, 7 August 2026), and capital repair of a residential building (1,379,144.67 AZN, 18 August 2026) — not one contract split into parts, and not confirmed signed, executed or paid contracts. AQROMAN LLC has a multi-year history with this and other public buyers going back to 2022, so the relationship is not new; the 180-day window only reflects the standard recipe period. Shusha's post-war reconstruction spending is of public interest, but these are ordinary procurement records, and Azerbaijan's open data carries no bidder counts, so this is not a competition claim. No wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is asserted.

Why it is a signal

  • How many bidders took part in each of the three procedures, and did competition differ by scope of work?
  • Do the electricity, restoration and repair awards belong to one coordinated reconstruction programme, or are they unrelated contracts that happen to share a buyer and supplier?
  • Will all three result records convert into signed, executed contracts, and on what timeline?
  • What other suppliers has the Shusha City State Reserve Administration awarded for comparable restoration or infrastructure work in the same period?
  • What does AQROMAN LLC's multi-year history with other public buyers since 2022 show about its capacity across these different types of work?

What AZTender shows

AZTender's entity-report module links every result and contract record naming a buyer or a supplier, which is how three awards spanning electricity supply, monument restoration and residential repair surface as one buyer-scoped history at Shusha City State Reserve Administration rather than three unconnected registry entries. A journalist tracking post-war reconstruction procurement, or an auditor screening buyers for supplier concentration across different scopes of work, can pull that history at aztender.ai.

A signal is not a verdict. Three award records to one supplier across three different scopes of work inside 180 days can have an ordinary administrative explanation, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
