TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, July 2. MONTAJSPETCSTROY wins UzAuto Motors tender amid questions over address duplication, Trend reports.
UzAuto Motors has announced the results of a tender for the technical maintenance of its fire alarm systems, with an initial contract value of $35,560. The winning bid was submitted by MONTAJSPETCSTROY, which proposed a lower offer of $34,507. The company MAXSUS TEXNO SANOAT LLC was named as the reserve winner.
However, scrutiny has followed the tender results after it emerged that both participating companies are registered at the same address: Tashkent, Yakkasaray district, Shokhjakhon Street, 12A. This detail appears in both open-source registration data for MONTAJSPETCSTROY and the license information for MAXSUS TEXNO SANOAT.
The use of identical addresses raises concerns about the transparency and competitiveness of the tender process, suggesting potential links between the participants. No official comment from UzAuto Motors or the involved firms has been made public as of this writing.
The procurement was carried out through an open tender procedure under Uzbekistan’s public procurement regulations. Observers and transparency advocates have called for greater scrutiny of such cases to prevent possible conflicts of interest or artificial competition.
