Purchase of gasification and landscaping work, justified under subpoint 4, paragraph 3, Article 39.
"A notable case is a 298 million tenge tender for school gasification that was carried out without competition," says a civil activist. Possibly, in the opinion of the Housing and Communal Services Department of Local Authorities, an emergency situation occurred. Perhaps, tudents went on strikes, which required immediate gasification of schools and, consequently, allocation of funds without holding a competition?"
In this context, the improper or unjustified use of sole-source contracts remains a key issue. Monitoring of procurement methods and quick identification of irregularities, particularly with the updated legislative changes, becomes essential to ensure fairness and competitiveness in public procurement processes.
