Shoe Covers More Expensive Than Shoes
Baku / 19.02.18 / Turan: To purchase disposable shoe covers and gloves, as well as dance suits, the administration of preschool educational enterprises and children's homes in Baku will spend 859.8 thousand manat ($ 505.7 thousand) from the state budget this year. At the same time, according to the results of the tender, about twice as much money was allocated to finance the purchase of disposable boots and gloves, than in 2017.
According to the state register of public procurement, in these tenders the winners were three companies that were established at the time of their announcement on January 15 this year. None of these companies are producers for this reason, of course. This fact was confirmed by the coordinator of the tender commission of the administration Kamran Asadov.
The contract for the amount of AZN 199 850 ($ 117.5 thousand) for the purchase of shoe covers was awarded to Alzeza LLC (TIN 1305348961) on February 28. On the same day, an agreement was concluded with Kaiser LLC (TIN 1305349341) for the supply of disposable gloves used in the kitchen. The cost of this agreement is 119,490 manat ($ 70.3 thousand). Ocaqverdi XM LLC will supply dance suits for a total of over 540 thousand manat ($ 318 thousand).
In the Office of Preschool Educational Enterprises and Orphanages (OPEEO) of the city of Baku Turan was refused to disclose information on the number of purchased goods. This is contrary to the law, according to which the procuring entity is required to disclose all the necessary indicators for the goods (works and services) to be procured.
In 2017, OPEEO twice bought shoe covers, and in both cases, the suppliers were individuals. The total cost of these purchases was 116,400 manat. Disposable gloves worth 49.6 thousand manat were supplied by Can Bebe (INN 1002635101) last year. 08B--

This figure, which includes reserves held by the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) and the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), far exceeds the nation's external debt, which stands at a fraction of its reserves, specifically nearly 14 times less.
