Violations in public procurement have been identified in the Akmolinsk region.

“It has been established that the enterprise systematically entered into contracts in 2023 and 2024 without conducting state procurement procedures (outside the web portal, on paper). Specifically, 7 contracts were identified for the inspection of boiler houses, the purchase of petroleum products and office furniture, as well as the rental of special equipment, amounting to a total of 9.2 million tenge,” the regional prosecutor's office explained.

Entering into contracts in this manner serves as a means to circumvent oversight controls and denies potential suppliers equal opportunities to participate in state procurements.

As a result of the prosecutor's oversight act, the enterprise's management has been held administratively liable under Article 207, Part 11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, with a fine imposed amounting to 1.2 million tenge.
