Tenders and public procurement

Procurement support in Kazakhstan

We bid on procurements as a supplier and prepare documentation for buyers. We know the platform requirements, the deadlines and the recurring reasons bids get rejected.

Platforms

Where we operate

The three main procurement channels in Kazakhstan, plus commercial tenders run by enterprises.

  • State procurement

    Purchases by government bodies, institutions and budget-funded enterprises. The official public procurement web portal of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

  • Direct contracts

    Commercial procurement

    Tenders and requests for proposals from private companies, as well as direct supply contracts without a competitive procedure.

Full cycle

What tender support covers

Eight stages. If you choose turnkey support, none of them stays on your side.

  1. 01

    Lot selection

    We monitor notices matching your product range and shortlist the ones whose terms can genuinely be met.

  2. 02

    Notice analysis

    We read the technical specification and draft contract and surface hidden requirements and risks.

  3. 03

    Feasibility check

    We confirm supplier availability and that production plus logistics fit inside the contractual delivery date.

  4. 04

    Costing

    We build up the cost with logistics, customs, taxes and security, and set the price ceiling.

  5. 05

    Documentation

    We assemble the package: bid form, price offer, technical section, qualification and constitutive documents.

  6. 06

    Submission

    We upload the documents to the platform and sign with a digital signature before the deadline.

  7. 07

    Award and contract

    We handle clarifications, admission and award protocols, sign the contract and agree the specification.

  8. 08

    Performance

    We deliver, hand over the documents, sign the acceptance certificate and close the contract without delay.

From you

What we need to start

Minimal input. We clarify the rest on a call.

  • The lot or notice number — if the procurement is already published
  • An item list with part numbers, or a technical specification
  • Required volume and the target delivery date
  • Delivery address and acceptance terms
  • Company registration details — at the contract stage

Risks

Why bids most often get rejected

These are the first things we check.

  • Mismatch with the technical specification

    The proposed equivalent differs on at least one specified parameter. We verify every parameter before submitting.

  • Incomplete document package

    One qualification document is missing, or it does not follow the form required by the notice.

  • Missed submission deadline

    The bid is uploaded or signed after the cut-off. We build in a buffer of at least one day.

  • Unrealistic delivery deadline

    The contractual deadline is shorter than actual production and logistics time. We check this before bidding.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about tenders

Can you help if we have no digital signature and no procurement experience?

Yes. In that case we bid as a supplier under AQPAN SOLUTIONS LLP and sign the contract directly with the buyer. If your own organisation must be the bidder, we prepare the entire documentation package and your authorised employee signs the bid with their own digital signature.

The lot is already published and the submission window is short. Can you make it?

Send the lot number straight away — we return a feasibility assessment within one business day. If there is enough time to assemble the documentation and confirm supply, we take it on. If there is not, we will say so rather than submit a bid that is bound to lose.

How is the price built up?

The commercial proposal lists the supplier's item price, logistics, customs duties, certification where required, taxes and our fee as separate lines. There are no hidden multipliers — you can see exactly what makes up the total.

Who covers the bid security and performance security?

If we bid as the supplier, we place the security ourselves and include its cost in the calculation. If your organisation is the bidder, we prepare the documents and support the issuance of a bank guarantee or security deposit, but the bidder places it.

How long does delivery from China and Europe take?

Roughly 15–45 days from China and 20–60 days from Europe, covering production, consolidation, transport and customs clearance. The exact lead time is fixed in the specification once the supplier confirms. Stock items within Kazakhstan take one to ten days.

What warranty applies to supplied parts?

The warranty period is stated in the contract and specification for each item and matches the manufacturer's warranty. If a defect is found, we arrange replacement or return at our own cost within our contractual obligations.

Do you work with commercial procurement, not just state tenders?

Yes. We take part in tenders and requests for proposals from private companies, and we also sign direct supply contracts without a competitive procedure.

Send us your item list or a lot number

We will assess feasibility and come back with a costing within one business day. A request commits you to nothing.
