The Osh municipal enterprise “Tazalyk” has re-opened bidding for a contract to manufacture and install trash cans throughout the city. The tender allocates 35.9 million soms (approximately $430,000 USD) for the project. This is a retendering, suggesting a previous attempt to secure a contractor was unsuccessful. The funds are earmarked specifically for the production and placement of 100 trash cans. The high cost, averaging 359,000 soms per unit, has drawn attention and potential scrutiny. Details regarding the specifications of the trash cans were not immediately available. The tender process is ongoing, and potential bidders are being sought.
