8.64 million manats, third award, 26.2 million total — concentration returns at Ministry of Education's unit
AZTender's data cut of 3 November 2026 shows a Ministry of Education construction unit recording a third award to one supplier, 8,636,264.75 AZN on 12 October, lifting a three-award total to 26,236,670.55 AZN.
AZTender's data cut of 3 November 2026, taken at 03:10:29 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 third award record naming the same supplier, S.H. İnşaat Xidməti LLC ("S.H. İNŞAAT XİDMƏTİ" MMC), worth 8,636,264.75 AZN, published on 12 October 2026 — two weeks after the first two awards to this pairing (the first pair totalled 17,600,405.80 AZN, reported on this site on 4 October) — bringing the three-award total since 29 September to 26,236,670.55 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) |
| Award 1 | 8,407,155.75 AZN, published 29 September 2026 |
| Award 2 | 9,193,250.05 AZN, published 29 September 2026 |
| Award 3 (new) | 8,636,264.75 AZN, published 12 October 2026 |
| Three-award total | 26,236,670.55 AZN |
What the number is not
All three rows are the registry's result records, not confirmed signed or executed contracts, and 26,236,670.55 AZN is the sum of awarded prices, not money confirmed paid out. The procedure-type field is blank on every one of the three rows, so no single-source or competitive-procedure claim is made; no bidder-count or competition-level figure exists for this pair, since Azerbaijan's open procurement data does not publish bidder counts. The first two awards were already reported on this site on 4 October; the new fact here is the third award and the resulting three-award total, not the earlier pair restated.
Why it is a signal
- What scope of work does the 12 October award cover, and how does it differ from the two awards of 29 September?
- Why did the buyer run three separate award procedures with one supplier inside roughly two weeks rather than a single combined procurement?
- Does any of the three result records carry the registry's "Bir mənbə" (single-source) procedure-type tag once that field is populated?
- Has any of the three records since converted into a signed, dated contract entry?
What AZTender shows
AZTender's entity-report module links every result record to the buyer and supplier it names, so a new award lands inside an existing buyer-supplier history rather than surfacing as an isolated line — which is how the 12 October record immediately joined the 29 September pair into a single three-award view. A bidder tracking this buyer's award pace, or an auditor and journalist screening for supplier concentration over a short window, can pull that history at aztender.ai.
A signal is not a verdict. Three award records naming one supplier inside roughly two weeks, following an earlier pair already reported on this site, can have an ordinary explanation, such as separate capital-works procedures clearing the registry in stages, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
