Lately, the tenders conducted by the SUE “Supply and Logistics Service” have become quite suspicious. After all, tenders worth billions of soums are being won by business entities whose type of activity does not match the purchased product. In addition, in some cases, the enterprise that offered a low price remains, and the enterprise that quoted a high price is recognized as the winner, and contracts are made with them.
The supply service of the Ministry of Pre-School and School Education previously held 12 tenders for the purchase of school supplies, and 4 of them were won by a company engaged in the wholesale trade of wood and building materials, and one by a car washing company. According to Kun.uz calculations, contracts were signed with the winning companies at high prices of 13.5 billion soums.
A similar situation was observed in the tenders for the purchase of sports equipment (balls) held on May 3: in two of the five lots, LLC, whose activity is the production of bread, dough confectionery, cakes and pies, was declared the winner.
