Public Procurement Agency (SEA) published report conducted in 2012 competitive procurement. The report is traditionally almost no criticism of tender procedures, provides only bare statistics, although problems remain publicly funded procurement.
In 2012, 14,169 were held competitive procurement (including 12.7 thousand quoted polls) that 13.1% more than in 2011. The volume of transactions concluded on these purchases amounted to 4 428.1 million manat. This is 66.7% more than in 2011. If in 2011, the savings resulting from the competitive procurement process in public funds was 193.5 million manat, but last year the figure was 302.2 million manat. GAS in contrast to previous years, 2011-2012, did not disclose the volume of purchases and save money on certain public entities, which minimizes the effect of statistical data analysis.
The report has no information about Gaz canceled tender purchases identified corruption. On the web page of gas is also not a database to hold the 2012 competitive procurement, and their outcomes. In the report there is no information on the number of accepted applicants in the competitive procurement and winners. The analysis of messages for 2011 showed that every public purchaser formed traditional partners. This is especially noticeable in the regions where the winning bids are the same candidates.
Purchasing organizations do not invite media representatives to the stage of opening of tender documents, in violation of the law do not publish their results.
Notably, some state institutions (CJSC "Azerbaijan Airlines", JSC "Azeryolservis", "Azneftkimyamashservis" etc.) do not even bother to hold competitive procurement. How the selection of contractors by these structures is realized is not disclosed. The government, in particular the Ministry of Finance, does not notice this. - 08B-

In Azerbaijan, the government has increasingly relied on tax exemptions for imported goods as a tool to stabilize domestic market prices. The exemption from the 18% VAT on wheat imports, extended this year, exemplifies this approach. New measures have also been introduced, including tax relief on imports of electric vehicle chargers, while exemptions for high-cost medications are currently under discussion. Notably, defense imports continue to be free from taxes and customs duties.
