Public procurement support in Uzbekistan

What the 2% covers

• Onboarding: the supplier account on the operator's portal, the digital signature, the deposit account and a walkthrough of the first bid on a live lot.
• Tender watch: daily screening of xarid.uzex.uz, etender.uzex.uz and e-auksion.uz against your profile; a weekly shortlist with customer, price, deposit, advance, delivery period and criteria; same-day alerts on short deadlines.
• Every bid: a compliance check of the product card for the e-shop and auctions; for selections and tenders the full read of the specification, draft contract and criteria, the compliance matrix, qualification documents, technical and price proposals, clarification requests, submission and the award stage.
• The cash plan for each bid: deposit, commission, advance, delivery timing, VAT, payment days and any guarantee, laid out before you commit a price.
• Contract execution: signing, delivery and acceptance documents, electronic invoices, customer correspondence, payment follow-up, warranty records, claims and the closing act.
• Also inside the fee: registration of the bidder's company where one is needed. Quoted separately: complaints to the Commission and court claims ($500–3,000) and accounting plans ($200–1,000 a month).

The fee arises only on a contract you sign; unsuccessful bids are not invoiced.

The bidder's own money: collateral and commission

These sums are yours, not ours, and they decide how many lots you can run at the same time. We put them in the cash plan before you approve a lot.

• Collateral: 3% of your offer value in the e-shop, 3% of the start price in a reverse auction, up to 3% of the lot value in a selection and up to 5% in a tender if the commission asks for it. A bank guarantee counts only where the customer confirms it, so we ask before you price: two working days for a written answer, one through the open chat.
• A bid 20% or more below the reference price needs an extra deposit equal to the price gap, capped at 100 BRV when the reference price is up to 2,500 BRV and at 1,000 BRV above that (one BRV is 440,000 soums in 2026). Without it the system rejects the bid, so we price the top-up in before you cut.
• The operator's commission is deducted from both sides' advance payments on the actual contract value; it is an expense, not a blocked sum. Producers holding a high or medium sustainability rating pay half of it and owe no extra deposit.
• Release: an auction deposit is freed once you are underbid, a shop deposit when the winner is named; a winning supplier's deposit in the shop or auction stays blocked until full performance. In a selection or tender it is released within one working day after signing unless the documentation keeps it until you have performed. Freed money can go straight to your next lot.

How we compare

What to send us

• What you supply: product lines or services, capacity, regions you can deliver to, and any licences, certificates or references you already hold.
• Your limits: budget range per lot, the maximum cash you can lock in deposits and delivery, and acceptable payment terms.
• Company documents: registration, tax status, bank details, digital signature holder, and the person who signs contracts.

A short summary is enough for the first email. Once we have looked at the task, we tell you how to hand over company, tax and employee documents.

What a bid on etender actually requires

In the lots we screened in September 2026 the customer typically asked for a collateral of 1–3% of the start price (a bank guarantee is sometimes not accepted in its place), paid an advance of 0–30%, settled the balance 10–30 days after acceptance, and set delivery periods of 30–180 days. Qualification criteria are scored: comparable contracts within the last three years, named specialists with certificates, manufacturer authorisations, samples. A missing document on a mandatory criterion disqualifies the bid regardless of price.

What we flag before you bid

Four things decide a lot before any price is entered. They are the first lines of every shortlist entry.

• The procedure and its clock: e-shop offers stay posted for 60 days and rivals have two working days to undercut; a reverse auction or selection gives at least five working days, and a selection is evaluated within ten; a tender runs 12–30 working days with evaluation up to 45, and a clarification request must reach the customer at least two working days before it closes. Since 2026 a single bidder can win an auction or a repeated selection, but never a tender.
• Hard stops: the documentation and the bid are in the state language unless the documents allow otherwise; goods must be new; a price above the start price, an empty mandatory field or a missing attachment is rejected by the system before a human reads it; since 1 July 2026 evaluation is electronic only.
• Preferences you cannot match: a certified domestic producer gets extra points of score × 15% × localisation share, electrical products carry an 8–15% price preference against the imported DDP price, and since 6 March 2026 budget customers must check the producers' portals first. If you import, we do not shortlist lots reserved for producers.
• Customer-side breaches worth a clarification: a purchase split to stay under a threshold, unrelated items in one lot, inflated qualification requirements, a brand name without 'or equivalent', or a start price far below the market price the customer must now set in the pricing module.

After the award: what we run and against which deadlines

• Signing within ten working days of the award, with the digital signature, on the terms of the documentation and your bid. A winner who refuses loses the deposit and enters the register of unfair performers for two years. A contract that is not in the Unified Register of Contracts receives no payment.
• Shop and auction money runs through the operator's clearing chamber: a corporate customer funds the full price within ten working days of contract registration, the chamber notifies you the next working day, and that notice is your instruction to deliver; ship before it and the non-payment risk is yours. Once acceptance is reported the operator issues the payment order within one working day, you are paid the next and your deposit is released.
• Selection and tender payments follow the contract. Since 1 January 2026 a budget customer may advance a domestic producer with 30% or more localisation; everyone else prices on post-acceptance payment unless the draft contract says otherwise.
• Changes after signing are narrow: no change of subject, quality or quantity, no price rise, no delivery extension except force majeure, additional works capped at 10% of the contract. We do not draft addenda the law will not carry.
• Statutory penalties we apply or defend: 0.5% of the undelivered part per day capped at 50%; 0.4% per day on a late payment capped at 50%; 15% for an unjustified refusal to pay; 20% for non-conforming goods; 1% per missing set of shipping documents. A corporate customer's deposit passes to you within one working day of a missed payment date; a written claim must be answered within fifteen days, and then we file in the economic court.
• Complaints: objections to selection minutes within two working days of publication, an explanation of a tender result within three working days on request, and a complaint to the Commission, which notifies the customer within three working days, suspends the procedure for up to ten and decides within seven.

What you receive

• A weekly shortlist of lots with eligibility, deposit, advance and cash-exposure notes, and a written bid / clarify / decline recommendation for each.
• Registered supplier accounts, a submitted bid file with the compliance matrix and all attachments, and the clarification correspondence.
• For awarded contracts: the signed contract, acceptance and invoice records, the payment log and the closing documents.
