The Bukhara Territorial Administration of the Antimonopoly Committee conducted a study of compliance with the requirements of the Laws “On Public Procurement” and “On Competition” in 2019-2020 by the UE “Bukhoro Yullardan Muntazam Foydalanish”. 

As the press service of the Antimonopoly Committee reported, in two years, the state customer twice violated the law on public procurement. So, in the period 2019-2020. the company, for its own needs, purchased goods (building materials, household goods, diesel fuel, stationery, furniture, road signs, etc.), and also used the services of equipment and vehicles of enterprises in other districts of the region on the basis of concluded bilateral agreements.

Article 16 of the Law “On Public Procurement” stipulates that budget customers, budgetary organizations, recipients of budgetary funds allocated for the implementation of procurement procedures, state trust funds and legal entities with a state share in their statutory fund in the amount of 50% or more are considered state customers. In accordance with Article 23, the obligation of the state customers for placing a procurement notice on a special information portal for further procurement procedures through an electronic store, auction, competition or tender is indicated.

However, in violation of the requirements of the Law “On Public Procurement”, the UE without competitive bidding or tenders, on the basis of direct contracts concluded in 2019 acquired goods for 31 billion 413 million 366 thousand 209 soums, in 2020 – 33 billion 420 million 96 thousand 221 soums.

The special commission of the Bukhara Territorial Administration of the Antimonopoly Committee initiated a case against the Unitary Enterprise “Bukhoro Yullardan Muntazam Foydalanish” for violation of the requirements of Article 14 of the Law “On Competition” and issued an order.
