15 procedures, 12 single-source, 80.0% — a buyer profile for Azerbaijan's Ministry of Energy
AZTender's 90-day buyer profile shows 12 of 15 classified procedures (80.0%) at Azerbaijan's Ministry of Energy tagged "Bir mənbə" (single-source), the highest share among buyers with five or more procedures.
In AZTender's 90-day buyer profile, dated 12 September 2026, Azerbaijan's Ministry of Energy (AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASININ ENERGETİKA NAZİRLİYİ) recorded 15 classified procedures, of which 12 carry the registry's procedure-type tag "Bir mənbə" (single-source) — 80.0% of the classified total, the highest share among buyers with at least five procedures in the window.
The pattern in context
Three other buyers with five or more procedures in the same window also show elevated single-source shares: the Capital Construction Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (FÖVQƏLADƏ HALLAR NAZİRLİYİNİN ƏSASLI TİKİNTİ İDARƏSİ) at 66.7% (4 of 6), the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan (AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI ELM VƏ TƏHSİL NAZİRLİYİ) at 60.0% (6 of 10) and the Azerbaijan National Conservatory ("AZƏRBAYCAN MİLLİ KONSERVATORİYASI" PHŞ) at 60.0% (3 of 5). The Ministry of Energy's share is the highest of the four.
What the number is not
Single-source is a legitimate procurement procedure type under Azerbaijani rules for defined circumstances; the tag itself is not a finding of anything irregular. The 80.0% figure is also a share of classified rows only — roughly 40% of rows in the Azerbaijani dataset carry no procedure-type tag at all, so this is not a share of all procurement activity by the ministry, and it is not a bidder-count or competition-level metric.
The numbers
| Item | Value |
|---|---|

| Window | Last 90 days (data cut 12 September 2026) |

Why it matters
- What circumstances under the Public Procurement Law were cited for each of the 12 single-source designations?
- Does the 80.0% share hold over a longer window, or is it specific to these 90 days?
- Were any of the 12 procedures preceded by a competitive tender that produced no bids?
- How does the ministry's single-source share compare across its subordinate agencies and units?
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 use the same profile view rather than rebuilding it from raw registry exports. More detail is available at aztender.ai.
A signal is not a verdict. Single-source procedure type is a legitimate procurement category, not a legal characterization of these 15 procedures, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn from this share.
