19.92 million manats, almost four times the next-largest listing — Azerishiq's latest announcement

AZTender's data cut of 12 October 2026 shows Azerishiq OJSC's 19,919,286.42 AZN tender for electricity repairs to irrigated wheat areas, almost four times the batch's second-largest listing; no winner recorded yet.

AZTender's data cut of 12 October 2026 shows the single largest announcement in the latest available batch of state-portal tenders, published 9 October 2026: a 19,919,286.42 AZN (≈19.92 million manats, ≈11,255,622.28 EUR) tender from Azerishiq OJSC ("AZƏRİŞIQ" ASC) for repair of the external electricity supply to irrigated wheat-growing areas under a food self-sufficiency programme, tender No. 356589. At 19.92 million manats, the listing runs almost four times the batch's second-largest announcement, 4,997,703.56 AZN, and carries no recorded winner.

What the number is not

The 19,919,286.42 AZN figure is an announced ceiling, not a signed contract and not money paid; no award or winner is recorded against this tender yet. The published timestamp carries a documented, uncorrected offset of roughly four hours, so the true Baku posting time runs later than the raw registry value shows. Azerbaijan's open procurement data records no bidder counts, so no claim about competition for this listing is made here. The roughly four-times comparison ranks two buyer-set ceiling estimates inside a single three-day batch of 98 announcements; it says nothing about this tender's size relative to the market, to Azerishiq's own procurement history, or to any longer period.

Why it is a signal

  • What does the 19.92 million manat estimate cover, and how was the repair scope for the irrigated wheat-growing areas costed?
  • Is this announcement one of several procurements tied to the same food self-sufficiency programme, or a standalone listing?
  • Will the tender convert into a signed contract, and at what value relative to the 19.92 million manat ceiling?
  • How does a single announcement of this size compare with Azerishiq's other recent postings on the registry?

What AZTender shows

AZTender's entity-report module tracks a buyer's full recorded history, so a single 19.92 million manat announcement from Azerishiq can be read against the utility's other postings rather than in isolation, while the price-assessment view shows how this ceiling compares with similarly scoped electricity-infrastructure tenders elsewhere in the registry. A bidder weighing whether to compete for electricity-supply repair work, or an auditor and journalist tracking how irrigation-related spending moves through the registry, can pull that buyer-scoped history at aztender.ai.

A signal is not a verdict. A single large tender announcement, even one far above the same-batch average, can have an ordinary explanation — a capital programme reaching its procurement stage — and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
