2 awards, 17.8 million manats, 27 days apart — a second supplier at the same Ministry of Education unit
AZTender's data cut of 3 November 2026 shows the Ministry of Education construction unit awarding a second, separate supplier 17,779,308.38 AZN across two records 27 days apart.
AZTender's data cut of 3 November 2026, taken at 03:10:29 UTC, shows the same Ministry of Education construction unit behind today's lead story recording two separate award records for a second supplier, Mühəndislik Tikinti Təchizat LLC ("MÜHƏNDİSLİK TİKİNTİ TƏCHİZAT" MMC), worth 17,779,308.38 AZN combined (≈17.8 million manats), published 27 days apart — on 8 September and 5 October 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) |
| Supplier | Mühəndislik Tikinti Təchizat LLC ("MÜHƏNDİSLİK TİKİNTİ TƏCHİZAT" MMC) |
| Award 1 | 9,084,195.52 AZN, published 8 September 2026 at 08:59:47 UTC |
| Award 2 | 8,695,112.86 AZN, published 5 October 2026 at 18:16:21 UTC |
| Combined total | 17,779,308.38 AZN |
| Gap between the two awards | 27 days |
What the number is not
Both rows are the registry's result records, not signed or executed contracts, and the combined figure is the sum of two award amounts, not money confirmed paid out. The registry's procedure-type tag is blank on both records, so neither award carries a single-source or open-tender classification here. This is not a claim that Mühəndislik Tikinti Təchizat is connected to the supplier named in today's other Ministry of Education report — the two cases share only a buyer, and nothing in this data set links the two firms to each other or to the buyer. No bidder-count or competition claim is made, since Azerbaijan's open procurement data does not publish bidder counts.
Why it is a signal
- How many distinct suppliers has this buyer unit recorded awards for inside the same stretch of weeks, beyond the supplier covered in today's other report?
- What scope of work did each of the two awards cover, and did either follow a documented competitive procedure?
- Why did a 27-day gap separate the two awards rather than one combined procurement covering both scopes?
- Did any other firm submit a competing offer for either award?
What AZTender shows
AZTender's entity-report module tracks every result record against a buyer over time, which is how a second supplier's two awards inside the same window surface as a distinct buyer-scoped history rather than folding into the pattern already visible for the first supplier. The same module carries the registry's procedure-type tag alongside each record, showing where it is blank rather than assuming a "Bir mənbə" (single-source) label. A bidder gauging how many suppliers one buyer is running concurrently, or an auditor and journalist screening a buyer's full supplier list rather than one relationship at a time, can pull that view at aztender.ai.
A signal is not a verdict. Two award records naming one supplier inside a 27-day window, at a buyer that also recorded a separate supplier's awards in the same period, can have an ordinary explanation, such as parallel capital-works lots running on separate schedules, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
