18.2 million manats, five apartment blocks, no winner yet — the largest 24-hour tender at MİDA

AZTender's data cut of 15 October 2026 shows MİDA LLC's 18,203,107.73 AZN (≈18.2 million) tender for five Nakhchivan apartment blocks — the largest fresh announcement in 24 hours, not yet awarded.

AZTender's data cut of 15 October 2026, taken at 03:14 UTC, shows the single largest-value tender published on Azerbaijan's state procurement portal in the preceding 24 hours: an 18,203,107.73 AZN (≈18.2 million) construction tender, No. 360403, from MİDA LLC ("MİDA" Məhdud Məsuliyyətli Cəmiyyəti) for five multi-apartment residential buildings in Nakhchivan city, with no winner named yet.

The numbers

Item Value
Tender No. 360403, construction of residential buildings Nos 12–16 on a 4.98 ha site at the intersection of Əliqulu Qəmküsar Street and the Babək neighbourhood, Nakhchivan city
Buyer MİDA LLC ("MİDA" Məhdud Məsuliyyətli Cəmiyyəti)
Estimated value 18,203,107.73 AZN (≈18.2 million)
Published / submission deadline 14 October 2026 / 1 December 2026 (registry timestamps, see note below)
Status Open tender, no award record yet
Context The same buyer's two previously published award records to Hünər-İnşaat Firm ("HÜNƏR-İNŞAAT" FİRMASI), published November 2025 and September 2026, totalled 49,441,121.01 AZN combined (AZTender data cut of 1 October 2026, already reported on this site)

What the number is not

18,203,107.73 AZN is the buyer's estimated ceiling for this tender, not an awarded amount, a signed contract, or money paid — no winner has been named. The registry's own archive flag is blank, so this is not a stale record surfacing under a fallback date. It is also a separate procedure from this site's earlier MİDA coverage: the two awards to Hünər-İnşaat Firm are distinct, previously published award records, while tender No. 360403 is a new, open, as-yet-unawarded announcement. The registry's publication and deadline timestamps carry a documented offset of roughly four hours from true Baku time, so no exact closing hour is quoted here.

Why it is a signal

  • Which contractors will bid for a 4.98-hectare, five-building residential package, and will any of them be suppliers already linked to MİDA's prior awards?
  • Will this procedure clear the registry as a single award, or across multiple result records?
  • How does an 18.2 million manat ceiling compare with the per-building cost of MİDA's two previously published Nakhchivan and Abşeron award records?
  • What procurement procedure type governs this tender, and does the registry's classification match the scale of the works described?
  • Once the submission deadline closes on 1 December 2026, how long will it take for a result record to appear?

What AZTender shows

AZTender's entity-report module tracks every buyer from its first posted procedure, so this new Nakhchivan tender from MİDA LLC now sits alongside the two previously published award records already on file for the same buyer, letting a reader follow the full sequence rather than one announcement in isolation. A bidder assessing whether to compete, or an auditor and journalist watching how Nakhchivan's housing programme moves through the portal, can pull that buyer history at aztender.ai.

A signal is not a verdict. A large new tender from a buyer with an existing history of similar awards can have an entirely ordinary explanation — a multi-phase housing programme reaching its next procurement stage — and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
