17 procedures, 10 single-source, 58.8% — a buyer profile for Azerbaijan's Baku Boulevard authority

AZTender's 90-day buyer profile shows 10 of 17 classified procedures (58.8%) at the Baku Boulevard authority tagged "Bir mənbə" (single-source) — fourth-highest share among buyers with five or more procedures.

In AZTender's 90-day buyer profile, data cut dated 16 September 2026, the Baku Boulevard authority ("Dənizkənarı Bulvar İdarəsi" Publik Hüquqi Şəxsi) recorded 17 classified procedures, of which 10 carry the registry's procedure-type tag "Bir mənbə" (single-source) — 58.8% of the classified total. That ranks fourth among buyers with at least five procedures in the same window, behind Azerbaijan's Ministry of Energy (Azərbaycan Respublikasının Energetika Nazirliyi) at 80.0% (12 of 15), the Capital Construction Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (Fövqəladə Hallar Nazirliyinin Əsaslı Tikinti İdarəsi) at 66.7% (4 of 6) and Azerbaijan's Ministry of Science and Education (Azərbaycan Respublikası Elm və Təhsil Nazirliyi) at 60.0% (6 of 10).

What the number is not

Single-source is a legitimate procedure type under Azerbaijan's procurement rules for defined circumstances; the tag itself is not a finding of anything irregular. The 58.8% share applies to classified rows only — nationally, roughly 40% of rows in this window carry no procedure-type tag, so this is not a share of all procurement activity by the authority. The 591,896.53 AZN figure sums the announced values recorded against these 17 rows; it is not the value of signed contracts or money paid, and the field is frequently blank elsewhere in this dataset.

Why it is a signal

  • What circumstances under Azerbaijan's Public Procurement Law were cited for each of the 10 single-source designations?
  • Does the 58.8% share hold over a longer window, or is it specific to these 90 days?
  • Were any of the 10 procedures preceded by a competitive tender that produced no bids?
  • How does the authority's single-source share compare with the three buyers ranked above it in the same window?

What AZTender shows

AZTender's buyer profile module builds this kind of tender-type breakdown for any procuring entity, tracking how the mix of open tenders, restricted procedures and single-source awards shifts over time. A bidder deciding where to focus, or an auditor screening buyers for a closer look, can pull the same profile rather than rebuilding it from raw registry exports. More detail is available at aztender.ai.

A signal is not a verdict. Single-source is a legitimate procedure category, not a legal characterisation of these 17 procedures, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or avoidance of competition is drawn from this share.
