AZTender's data cut of 31 October 2026 shows EPİDBİOMED LLC ("EPİDBİOMED" Məhdud Məsuliyyətli Cəmiyyəti) recording two award results from a single buyer, the State Center for Healthcare Supply ("Səhiyyənin Təminat Mərkəzi" Publik Hüquqi Şəxsi), worth a combined 9,237,630.00 AZN (≈9.2 million manats), published 21 days apart: a 903,290.00 AZN flu-vaccine award on 1 October 2026 and an 8,334,340.00 AZN six-valent childhood-immunisation vaccine award on 22 October 2026.
The numbers
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Buyer | State Center for Healthcare Supply ("Səhiyyənin Təminat Mərkəzi" Publik Hüquqi Şəxsi) |
| Supplier | EPİDBİOMED LLC ("EPİDBİOMED" Məhdud Məsuliyyətli Cəmiyyəti) |
| Award 1 | 903,290.00 AZN, published 1 October 2026 — flu vaccine |
| Award 2 | 8,334,340.00 AZN, published 22 October 2026 — six-valent childhood immunisation vaccine |
| Combined total | 9,237,630.00 AZN (≈9.2 million) |

What the number is not
These are announced award values from result records, cross-checked against the registry's raw tender data (external IDs 356650 and 358013), not confirmed signed or paid contracts. The total is not proof of restricted competition or overpricing: Azerbaijan's open procurement data carries no bidder counts, so one named supplier cannot be read as one bidder. The figure covers only these two awards — EPİDBİOMED's awards from other buyers elsewhere in its 365-day history are excluded and are not part of this story.
Why it is a signal
- Why did the same supplier win two large vaccine awards from the same buyer only 21 days apart?
- What distinct vaccine programmes or budget lines do the flu-vaccine and six-valent childhood-immunisation awards each belong to?
- Do either of the two award records carry a matching signed-contract date yet?
- How many suppliers in Azerbaijan are registered to supply these specific vaccine categories at this scale?
- What procedure type governs each award, and does either carry the "Bir mənbə" (single-source) tag?
What AZTender shows
AZTender's entity-report module links every result record naming a supplier to the buyer history behind it, surfacing two vaccine awards 21 days apart as a single buyer-scoped pattern rather than two unconnected portal entries, with the raw tender records cross-checked before publication. A bidder assessing Azerbaijan's vaccine-supply market, or an auditor and journalist screening health-sector buyers for concentration, can pull that entity report at aztender.ai.
A signal is not a verdict. Two vaccine awards reaching the registry three weeks apart, from one buyer to one supplier, can have an ordinary explanation, such as sequential programme-specific procurements for different vaccine types, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
