2 award records, 6.03 million manats, one water programme — two buyers in Nakhchivan's subartesian-wells plan

AZTender's data cut of 13 October 2026 shows two award records for Nakhchivan's 38-settlement subartesian-wells programme — well construction and electricity supply — split across two buyers and two winners, 6,027,989.93 AZN combined.

AZTender's data cut of 13 October 2026 (03:17 UTC) shows two award records tied to the same Nakhchivan subartesian-wells water programme — covering 38 settlements and an estimated 80,000 residents per the two award entries — split across two buyers and two different winning suppliers, 6,027,989.93 AZN combined.

The numbers

Item Value
Award record 356810 — well construction, buyer Directorate of Facilities Under Construction ("Tikilməkdə Olan Obyektlərin Müdiriyyəti" Publik Hüquqi Şəxsi), winner Azertranss LLC ("AZƏRTRANSS" MMC) 4,241,180.25 AZN
Award record 356931 — electricity supply to the same wells, buyer Azerishiq OJSC ("AZƏRİŞIQ" ASC), winner Investaz LLC ("İNVESTAZ" MMC) 1,786,809.68 AZN
Combined award value 6,027,989.93 AZN
Programme scope named in both award entries 38 settlements, approximately 80,000 residents
Both records appeared in the data feed on 9 October 2026 (a reprocessing timestamp, not a confirmed registration time)

What the number is not

Both rows are award records that already carry a named winner, not two bids inside one competition — Azerbaijan's open procurement data does not publish bidder or competition counts for either award. Both records are marked archived in the source feed, and archived rows carry a reprocessing timestamp rather than the true original announcement date; no claim about when either award was registered, decided or signed is made here, at any level of precision. The 6,027,989.93 AZN figure is the arithmetic sum of two separate award amounts from two separate buyers, not a single contract value and not a programme budget line.

Why it is a signal

  • Why were the well-construction and electricity-supply components of one water programme split across two different buyers rather than procured and announced together?
  • What formal link, if any, connects the Directorate of Facilities Under Construction and Azerishiq OJSC on this specific 38-settlement programme?
  • Have Azertranss LLC or Investaz LLC won other components of the same wider subartesian-wells programme in Nakhchivan?
  • What procedure type governs each of the two awards?

What AZTender shows

AZTender's entity-report module keeps each buyer's award history on its own timeline, which is how a well-construction award from one buyer and an electricity-supply award from another buyer for the same programme surface as a pairable pattern rather than two unrelated entries in a long national feed. A bidder assessing adjacent-lot opportunities on the same infrastructure programme, or an auditor and journalist tracing how linked public works get split across buyers, can pull that cross-buyer history at aztender.ai.

A signal is not a verdict. Two award records for components of one water programme split across two buyers can reflect an ordinary division of labour between a works buyer and a utility buyer, and no conclusion about wrongdoing, affiliation or overpricing is drawn here.
