BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 14. The value of
electronic procurements in Azerbaijan rose by over 12% from January
through July 2026.


This was reported by the State Agency for Antimonopoly and
Consumer Market Control under the President of Azerbaijan.


According to the agency, the value of 4,596 electronic
procurements carried out in the country in the reporting period
amounted to 2.34 billion manat ($1.37 billion).


The agency noted that the average number of participants in the
tenders opened during the period was 3.5.


In the same period of 2025, the value of 4,582 electronic
procurements carried out in the country amounted to 2.08 billion
manat ($1.2 billion).


Thus, compared to the same period last year, the number of
electronic procurements conducted from January through July 2026
increased by 0.3%, while their total value rose by 12.5%.







"The increase in the volume of electronic procurements indicates
a rise in the level of digitalization in public procurement, a
shift of procurement processes toward a more accessible platform,
and the emergence of positive momentum in expanding the competitive
environment," the agency noted.


Deputy Chairman of the State Agency for Antimonopoly and
Consumer Market Control under the President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan, Mirza Mirzayev, recently said that positive trends are
being observed in the digital transformation of public
procurement.


"The total volume of public procurement in 2025 has increased
1.6-fold compared to 2020. Last year, compared to 2020, the number
of electronic procurement procedures rose 4.3-fold, while their
total value increased 5.3-fold. Savings achieved for the state
budget through electronic procurement amounted to 17.9% of the
estimated contract value. This result further confirms that
electronic procurement procedures yield real economic benefits for
the state budget," he noted.


The deputy chairman emphasized that this positive trend is
continuing into 2026. According to him, nearly 3,500 electronic
procurement procedures were conducted in the first half of the
year, with a total value of 1.7 billion manat ($1 billion). The
average number of participants in the tenders opened during that
period was 3.5.
