2 tenders, 6.25 million manats, 29 seconds apart — a timing signal at a Ministry of Education unit
AZTender's data cut of 10 October 2026 shows a Ministry of Education construction unit publishing two school-gasification tenders 29 seconds apart, worth 6,249,145.88 AZN combined, both due 11 November 2026.
AZTender's data cut of 10 October 2026, taken at 03:16:13 UTC, shows the Ministry of Education's capital-construction and supply unit (Azərbaycan Respublikası Təhsil Nazirliyinin Təsərrüfat Hesablı Əsaslı Tikinti və Təchizat İdarəsi) publishing two open tenders for school gasification and heating work 29 seconds apart, worth 6,249,145.88 AZN combined (3,649,938.05 AZN and 2,599,207.83 AZN), both due on 11 November 2026.
The numbers
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Buyer | Ministry of Education's capital-construction and supply unit (Azərbaycan Respublikası Təhsil Nazirliyinin Təsərrüfat Hesablı Əsaslı Tikinti və Təchizat İdarəsi) |
| Tender 1 (external ID 360084) — Tovuz district, Yanıqlı village school gasification design and gas-line laying | 3,649,938.05 AZN |
| Tender 2 (external ID 360085) — gasification-project preparation and heating equipment for a number of schools | 2,599,207.83 AZN |
| Gap between the two publications | 29 seconds |
| Combined total | 6,249,145.88 AZN |
| Submission deadline, both tenders | 11 November 2026 |
What the number is not
Both figures are estimated, announced tender values, not awarded amounts and not money paid — no winner exists for either tender yet. Neither row carries the registry's "Bir mənbə" (single-source) procedure-type tag, since that field is blank on both; this is not a single-source claim. The registry stores publication and deadline timestamps roughly four hours ahead of true Baku time, so the 29-second gap between the two postings is internally consistent but the wall-clock hour itself should not be read as the true Baku time of publication. This buyer unit has four prior posts on this site: three cover award records naming other suppliers, and one — a 19 September 2026 article on a five-tender cluster published inside a two-hour window — is the same kind of timing signal as this one, for a different date and different tender identifiers. Neither that article nor the other three covers external IDs 360084 and 360085, the 29-second gap, or the 6,249,145.88 AZN combined figure, so today's facts are new; the buyer's recurring appearance on this site is a separate observation, not evidence about these two tenders.
Why it is a signal
- Why were two gasification and heating tenders published 29 seconds apart rather than as one combined procurement?
- What distinguishes Tender 1's Tovuz-district scope from Tender 2's broader "a number of educational institutions" scope, beyond the title wording?
- Will the same bidder pool compete for both tenders, and will either carry the "Bir mənbə" (single-source) tag once a procedure type is recorded?
- Given that this is the buyer unit's second reported instance of same-session publication clustering, does a wider pattern emerge once these two tenders reach the result-record stage?
What AZTender shows
AZTender's tender-matching and entity-report modules track a buyer's listings by publication timestamp down to the second, which is how two tenders posted 29 seconds apart surface as a pairable pattern rather than two unrelated entries in a long registry feed. A bidder deciding whether to compete for either lot, or an auditor and journalist tracking how this buyer times and splits its announcements, can pull that buyer history at aztender.ai.
A signal is not a verdict. Two open tenders published seconds apart can have an ordinary administrative explanation, such as staggered submission from a prepared batch, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
