6 awards, 14.16 million manats, one supplier — a price-jump signal at a reconstruction buyer

AZTender's data cut of 2 October 2026 shows six result records since August 2024 for one cleaning and landscaping supplier at a reconstruction authority, totalling 14,157,298.73 AZN, with the two latest awards rising 3.96x in 70 days.

AZTender's analysis of the state procurement portal, in a data cut dated 2 October 2026, found six result records since August 2024 for Mint Services LLC — recorded in the registry under three distinct name strings, "MİNT SERVİCES" MMC, MİNT SERVİCES MMC and "MİNT SERVİCES" Məhdud Məsuliyyətli Cəmiyyəti (Limited Liability Company) — all naming the same buyer: the Reconstruction, Construction and Management Service for Xankəndi City and the Ağdərə and Xocalı Districts ("Xankəndi şəhərində, Ağdərə və Xocalı rayonlarında Bərpa, Tikinti və İdarəetmə Xidməti" Publik Hüquqi Şəxsi). The six awards, all for street and courtyard cleaning, lighting and greening work, total 14,157,298.73 AZN (≈14.16 million manats). The two most recent, published 70 days apart under an identical tender title, show the award value rising 3.96 times — from 1,489,348.80 AZN on 16 July 2026 to 5,902,596.00 AZN on 24 September 2026.

What the number is not

The 14.16 million manat total does not mean Mint Services LLC is this buyer's only contractor: the same authority runs many other, mostly smaller, single-source procedures with other suppliers, as a buyer profile on this site noted on 20 September 2026. It is not a bidder-count or competition claim — Azerbaijan's open data carries none — and the identical tender title on the two latest awards does not prove identical scope, since the registry gives no further breakdown. The three name variants are grouped by text match, not a tax ID, blank here; neither recent award carries a signed-contract date, so both remain result records, not confirmed contracts.

Why it is a signal

  • What changed in scope or site conditions between 16 July and 24 September 2026 to justify a 3.96x rise in award value?
  • What procedure type and legal grounds applied to each of the six awards, and were any designated "Bir mənbə" (single-source)?
  • Did either of the two most recent result records proceed to a signed contract, and on what terms?

What AZTender shows

AZTender's entity reports link all six result records to this supplier's three name variants in one view, while the buyer profile module tracks every award by this reconstruction authority over time, surfacing a single-supplier concentration and value-change pattern without rebuilding it row by row. A bidder, auditor or journalist can pull the same two reports at aztender.ai.

A signal is not a verdict. No conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation, overpricing or avoidance of competition is drawn from these six records or from the price change between the two most recent awards.
