162 open tenders, 183 million manats, five days — where the next deadline cluster sits
AZTender's data cut of 28 September 2026 lists 162 open tenders closing 28 September–3 October 2026, worth 182,995,053.60 AZN; CPV division 72 (IT/professional services) leads by count and value, though one tender is 77% of that value.
AZTender's data cut of 28 September 2026 (03:16 UTC) shows 162 open tenders on Azerbaijan's state procurement portal (etender.gov.az) with submission deadlines in the five days from 28 September to 3 October 2026, carrying a combined estimated value of 182,995,053.60 AZN (≈183.0m AZN). Grouped by CPV division, division 72 — IT and professional services — leads by both count and value, with 34 tenders worth 114,021,027.00 AZN.
The numbers
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Open tenders, deadlines 28 September–3 October 2026 | 162 |
| Combined estimated value | 182,995,053.60 AZN |
| CPV division 72 (IT/professional services), by count and value | 34 tenders, 114,021,027.00 AZN |
| One tender inside division 72 — Bərgüşadçay reservoir pipeline, tender No. 357212 | 87,832,935.38 AZN, 77% of division 72's total |
| CPV division 10 | 3 tenders, 13,292,316.86 AZN |
| CPV division 51 | 3 tenders, 11,832,145.68 AZN |
What the number is not
The 162 figure counts open announcements with a near-term deadline, not awards, signed contracts or money spent — none of the 162 has a winner yet. CPV codes are free text in the registry, so only two-digit division grouping is usable, and division labels are indicative rather than verified official titles. Deadline timestamps run roughly four hours ahead of true Baku time, so "closes in N days" is approximate. Security and law-enforcement buyers under the site's standing exclusion list were filtered out before aggregating, so the true registry total is higher than shown here. Division 72's total is also weighted by a single water-infrastructure listing — the Bərgüşadçay reservoir pipeline tender at the Directorate of Facilities Under Construction ("Tikilməkdə Olan Obyektlərin Müdiriyyəti" Publik Hüquqi Şəxsi), a buyer whose other water tenders this site covered on 26 September — which alone accounts for 77% of the division's value.
Why it is a signal
- Why does one division — IT and professional services — carry more value than any other in this window?
- Excluding the Bərgüşadçay line item, do the remaining division-72 tenders still stand out?
- How many of the 162 open tenders convert into signed, executed contracts?
- Does division 72 keep leading the cluster in the following five-day window?
What AZTender shows
AZTender's tender-matching module tracks open announcements by CPV division and deadline, so a bidder can see this week's full window — 162 listings — on one screen rather than checking each etender.gov.az notice individually. The same module flags the deadline-offset issue on every row, and its entity-report view lets a reviewer isolate one buyer's listing from the rest of its division. More detail is at aztender.ai.
A signal is not a verdict. A concentration of deadlines and value inside one CPV division is an ordinary feature of a public procurement register, and no conclusion about any buyer, sector or supplier is drawn here.
