In accordance with the instructions of the Antitrust Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 922/03-17 of December 25, 2020, on the basis of open data posted on a special information portal, regular research in the field of public procurement is conducted.
The studies have revealed violations of competition and public procurement laws and are taking appropriate measures in accordance with the current legislation.
In particular, in January 2021, cases were brought against three contracting organizations, warning letters were issued to 5 business entities, and the information was passed to law enforcement agencies to take action on the cases identified in the two organizations.
There are also cases where customers place an ad on a special portal and demand a "guarantee letter" from the hokim of the district (city) or its higher organization.
This, in turn, violates the requirements of section 6 of section 1 of article 14 of the Competition Act and entails administrative liability under section 27 of the Competition Act.
