2 awards, 2.28 million manats, two ministry-linked buyers — a concentration signal for DATACORE
AZTender's data cut of 13 October 2026 shows DATACORE LLC winning two software-service awards worth 2,279,323.40 AZN combined from two Ministry of Economy-linked buyers three days apart.
AZTender's data cut of 13 October 2026, taken at 03:17 UTC, shows DATACORE LLC ("DATACORE" Məhdud Məsuliyyətli Cəmiyyəti) recording two software-services award records from two different buyers under the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Azerbaijan (Azərbaycan Respublikasının İqtisadiyyat Nazirliyi) umbrella, worth 2,279,323.40 AZN combined, registered three days apart — on 6 and 9 October 2026.

What the number is not
The 2.28 million figure sums two award result records, not one consolidated deal, and neither carries a confirmed signed or paid contract date. It is not a bidder-count or competition claim — Azerbaijan's open procurement data carries no bid counts. "Same supplier, two buyers, three days apart" is a pattern worth a question, not evidence that the two processes were coordinated. The supplier is matched by normalised registry name, not tax ID. A 60-day look-back found no other DATACORE awards, so this is a two-award cluster, not a wider trend.
Why it is a signal
- Will either award convert into a registered, dated contract record, and when?
- What other suppliers have these two Ministry of Economy-linked buyers engaged for comparable software-services work in the same period, for scale?
- Does the three-day gap reflect two independent procurement cycles, or shared sourcing timing between buyers under one ministry umbrella?
- How closely do the published scope and qualification terms of the two awards overlap?
What AZTender shows
AZTender's entity-report module tracks every award a supplier wins across different buyers, which is how two software-service awards to one supplier, registered three days apart at two buyers under the same ministry, surface as a single supplier-scoped pattern rather than two unrelated entries. A bidder benchmarking competitors, or an auditor and journalist screening a ministry's buyer network for supplier concentration, can pull that history at aztender.ai.
A signal is not a verdict. Two award records to one supplier from two buyers under the same ministry, three days apart, can have an ordinary explanation, such as a shared software rollout procured in separate lots, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
