4.87 million manats, fourth award, 31.1 million total — concentration continues at Ministry of Education unit
AZTender's data cut of 15 November 2026 shows a fourth award to S.H. İnşaat Xidməti LLC from a Ministry of Education construction unit, 4,871,847.06 AZN, lifting the pair's total to 31,108,517.61 AZN since 29 September.
AZTender's data cut of 15 November 2026, taken at 03:15:41 UTC, shows the Ministry of Education's capital-construction and supply unit (Azərbaycan Respublikası Təhsil Nazirliyinin Təsərrüfat Hesablı Əsaslı Tikinti və Təchizat İdarəsi) recording a fourth award record naming the same supplier, S.H. İnşaat Xidməti LLC ("S.H. İNŞAAT XİDMƏTİ" MMC) — 4,871,847.06 AZN, published 13 November 2026 — on top of the three-award, 26,236,670.55 AZN total reported here on 3 November, for a four-award total since 29 September of 31,108,517.61 AZN.
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 | S.H. İnşaat Xidməti LLC ("S.H. İNŞAAT XİDMƏTİ" MMC) |
| Awards 1–3 (reported 3 Nov) | 26,236,670.55 AZN, published 29 September and 12 October 2026 |
| Award 4 (new) | 4,871,847.06 AZN, published 13 November 2026 |
| Four-award total | 31,108,517.61 AZN |
| Window | 29 September to 13 November 2026 (46 days) |
What the number is not
All four rows are registry award/result records, not confirmed signed or executed contracts, and 31,108,517.61 AZN is a sum of awarded prices, not money confirmed paid out. No procedure-type tag ("Bir mənbə"/single-source or open) is populated on the new record, so no single-source or competitive-procedure claim is made; Azerbaijan's open procurement data does not publish bidder counts, so no competition-level figure exists for this pair either. Three of the four awards were already reported here on 3 November; the new fact is the fourth award and the resulting total, not the earlier figure restated.
Why it is a signal
- What scope does the 13 November award cover, relative to the three awards already made to this supplier since late September?
- Why has the buyer run four separate award procedures with one supplier across 46 days rather than one combined procurement?
- Does the new record carry the registry's "Bir mənbə" (single-source) procedure-type tag once that field is populated?
- Have any of the four records since converted into a signed, dated contract entry?
What AZTender shows
AZTender's entity-report module links every new result record to its buyer and supplier automatically, so the 13 November award joined the existing three-award history as a fourth row, not an isolated entry — the same view that first flagged this pair on 4 October. A bidder benchmarking a buyer's award pace, or an auditor and journalist screening for supplier concentration over months rather than days, can pull that history at aztender.ai.
A signal is not a verdict. Four award records naming one supplier across 46 days, extending a pair already reported twice here, can have an ordinary explanation, such as related capital-works procedures clearing the registry in stages, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
