This allows for comparissons of price changes on the same item. The plot below shows the different unit prices by date for medical masks (Маска 3-х слойная, на завязках):

While these purchases might refer to the same item, there could be differences in the packaging or units


The dataset also provides information on the bids received for each tender/lot and item. For instance, analyzing bid prices, we found that in 77% of the items the winning bid had a lower price than the tender unit price for that item. Also in 40% of the cases with more than one bid, the winning bid was the one with the lower price.

Winning bid price vrs tender price
price diffence proportion
higher price 5.8
lower price 76.9
same price 17.3
Winning bid had the lower price
Winning bid price proportion
different price 60.2
lower price 39.8


Finally, individual bid prices can be analyzed to search for suspicious patterns that might signal collusive behaviour. Two metrics that can be calculated are the relative price range and the relative standard deviation of individual bid prices per tender/lot/item. The idea behind these metrics is that extreme or unusual offer price distributions are found to signal collusion by academic literature. The plots below illustrate these indicators. observqations located in the extremes of the distribution (in red) are those considered suspicious since their price distributions are too close to each other or too far apart which can indicate non competitive behaviour.

Requirements for potential bidders

The dataset has structured data about the qualification requirements for potential bidders. In total 99.3% of the tenders had qualification requirements.

The types of requirements are listed in the table below; while some requirements are necessary in most of the tenders (Участники конкурса должны выполнить свои обязательства по уплате налогов в Кыргызской Республике, the requirement to pay taxes in Kyrgyzs Republic), others are less frequent (Информация о субподрядных организациях, provide information about subcontractors).

On average, tenders have 4.1 requirements, but they can range from 1 to 16.
