118 open tenders, 29 under one CPV code, 268.6 million manats — a mis-tagging signal, not an IT boom
AZTender's data cut of 13 November 2026 shows 118 open Azerbaijani tenders closing within five days; CPV division 72 alone covers 29 tenders worth 268,621,151.72 AZN — mostly mistagged construction work, not an IT surge.
AZTender's data cut of 13 November 2026 (03:17:08 UTC) shows 118 open tenders on Azerbaijan's state procurement portal (etender.gov.az) with submission deadlines in the five days to 18 November 2026. Grouped by the registry's two-digit CPV division code, division 72 leads by tender count: 29 tenders worth a combined 268,621,151.72 AZN (≈268.6m AZN) — but almost every division-72 listing here is a construction or repair project, not an information-technology purchase, despite division 72's standard IT-services meaning.
The numbers

The divisions shown here cover only 62 of the 118 tenders, so no division can be named second or third by count.
What the number is not
None of these 118 listings is an award, a signed contract or money paid; each carries a buyer's published ceiling, not a forecast of what will eventually be paid, and no winner exists yet for any of them. The 118 is a bounded count under this site's filtered scope; submission deadlines carry an approximate four-hour skew against true Baku time. CPV division "72" is the standard code for information-technology services, but almost every division-72 listing here is a construction, repair or utility project — a tagging-quality issue specific to Azerbaijan's sparse CPV coverage, not a genuine information-technology procurement cluster. No bidder counts attach to any of the 118 — Azerbaijan's open procurement data does not carry them.
Why it is a signal
- How many of the 29 division-72 listings are, on manual reclassification, actually construction, repair or utility projects rather than IT services?
- Does the same mistagging pattern recur in the next five-day window, or is this cut's division-72 cluster unusual even by the registry's own inconsistent coding?
- How does the combined value inside division 72 split once the two largest listings are set aside — concentrated in a handful of large projects, or spread across many smaller ones?
- Which buyers account for the bulk of the 118 open listings closing in this window, and do any of them recur from the previous five-day window?
What AZTender shows
AZTender's tender-matching module tracks open announcements by CPV division and submission deadline, so a bidder preparing a submission can see all 118 listings grouped by division on one screen instead of checking each etender.gov.az notice individually. The entity-report view lets a reviewer or auditor open any division-72 listing and check its actual title and scope before relying on the CPV label alone. More detail is at aztender.ai.
A signal is not a verdict. A CPV code that does not match a listing's real scope is a data-quality pattern in a public procurement register, not evidence about any buyer, sector or supplier.
