2 awards, 49.44 million manats, ten months apart — a concentration signal at MİDA
AZTender's data cut of 1 October 2026 shows MİDA LLC recording two award records naming Hünər-İnşaat Firm worth 49,441,121.01 AZN combined, published ten months apart.
AZTender's data cut of 1 October 2026, taken at 03:17 UTC, shows a single buyer, MİDA LLC ("MİDA" Məhdud Məsuliyyətli Cəmiyyəti), recording two award records naming a single supplier, Hünər-İnşaat Firm ("HÜNƏR-İNŞAAT" FİRMASI), worth 49,441,121.01 AZN combined, published about ten months apart — on 18 November 2025 and 7 September 2026.
The numbers
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Buyer | MİDA LLC ("MİDA" Məhdud Məsuliyyətli Cəmiyyəti) |
| Supplier | Hünər-İnşaat Firm ("HÜNƏR-İNŞAAT" FİRMASI) |
| Award 1 | 26,369,453.00 AZN, published 18 November 2025 — residential construction, Abşeron (Saray) |
| Award 2 | 23,071,668.01 AZN, published 7 September 2026 — residential construction, Nakhchivan |
| Combined total | 49,441,121.01 AZN |
| Gap between the two awards | about 10 months |
What the number is not
The 49.44 million figure sums two result records, not two signed or paid contracts: neither award carries a matching contract date yet. It is not a bidder-count or competition claim — Azerbaijan's open data does not publish bid counts. It is not a finding that a ten-month gap is unusual: multi-phase housing programmes routinely re-engage one contractor. And it is not a VOEN-based identity claim; the two awards are linked only by a name match in the registry.
Why it is a signal
- Will either of the two award records turn into a matching, dated contract record, and when?
- How many other suppliers has MİDA engaged for comparable residential packages in the same period, for scale?
- What links the Abşeron (Saray) package and the Nakhchivan package beyond sharing the same buyer and supplier?
- The same supplier also has a separate, contract-confirmed award from the Social Services Agency ("Sosial Xidmətlər Agentliyi" Publik Hüquqi Şəxsi), worth 3,186,650.00 AZN, published 8 December 2025 and confirmed as a contract eight days later. Does that faster pace elsewhere say anything about the two larger, still-unconfirmed MİDA records?
What AZTender shows
AZTender's entity-report module links every result record for a buyer to the suppliers it names, which is how two large residential-construction awards to one supplier, published ten months apart, surface as a single buyer-scoped history rather than two unconnected entries. The same view flags which records still lack a matching contract date. A bidder tracking award activity, or an auditor and journalist screening buyers for supplier concentration, can pull that history at aztender.ai.
A signal is not a verdict. Two award records to one supplier published ten months apart can have an ordinary explanation, such as sequential phases of a multi-site housing programme clearing the registry months apart, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
