This was reported by the press service of the Committee for Competition Development and Consumer Protection.

The plant was looking for a contractor to put up advertising banners and signs on its grounds and buildings. The starting price of the work was 1.2 billion soums. The committee launched an inspection after receiving a complaint.

It found that the plant had violated Article 29 of the Law on Competition: the tender was held with deviations from the procedure set by law, which restricted or could have restricted competition. After the inspection, the company cancelled the tender results itself.

The committee noted that stopping such violations helps spend public money efficiently and transparently and lets businesses compete on equal terms.

It was reported earlier that the anti-corruption agency found violations in tenders worth almost two billion soums. In 2023, construction of two new power units began at the Talimarjan plant.
