The Akimat of Taldykorgan has purchased services for the event dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the city. The department entered into a direct contract without a tender for an amount of around 55 million tenge with LLP «Advertising Media Center».
According to the Telegram channel «Journey through Public Procurement», the technical specification for the event states that it must take place in «Zhasstar» Park and must include many colourful show programmes and performances by stars.
As has become known, the customer, represented by the Akimat, did not announce a tender for the acquisition of services, but simply concluded a contract with the supplier.
«The fact that what is being purchased is not a special event, but directly the organisation of the City Day celebration, is important in connection with the justification of the procurement. The customer refers to intellectual property rights», the message states.
It is reported that the supplier under the contract is LLP «Advertising Media Center». Representatives of the company have indeed registered an intellectual property object. In the register, it is called "Event dedicated to the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the city of Taldykorgan in «Zhasstar» Park".
At the same time, it has become known that in December 2023, the Department of Culture and Language Development of Taldykorgan, also by concluding a direct contract, purchased decorative lighting services from this company.
In addition, in December 2022 in Almaty, a procurement of services for holding an event dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Medeu skating rink was carried out, and three months before that, a corresponding object with the name «My Medeu» appeared in the register of intellectual property rights, which was registered under the founder of «Advertising Media Center».
Initially, the procurement amount was 113 million tenge, however, after 10 days it was raised to 140 million tenge.
