Tender report/ From AKSHI, QSUT to UKT Tirana, institutions on the "black list" of abuses!
2026-03-27 14:31:19 / AKTUALITET
From the Centralized Purchasing Operator, to AKSHI, QSUT , and so on to municipalities and state-owned enterprises.
These turn out to be the most problematic institutions with tenders, according to a report by the Public Procurement Commission.
This document is an open map of the places where our money " evaporates " through tenders that reek of corruption, while 52% of the complaints reviewed by the Public Procurement Commission are accepted as valid.
According to the report, there are over 1,100 complaints filed within a year.
The fact that about 37% of complaints start with the " tender documents " shows that our officials continue to tailor suits, where the criteria are set so specific as to suit only the predetermined " client ".
"Blacklist", who are the champions of complaints?
• Centralized Purchasing Operator.
• National Information Society Agency ( NAISA ).
• "Mother Teresa" University Hospital Center ( QSUT ).
• Tirana Water and Sewerage (UKT).
• Durrës Regional Hospital Directorate.
The 2025 report also reveals other institutions that appear to have made violation the norm, including:
Health Care Services Operator (HSO): With a high number of complaints related to inflated tenders for services and goods.
Albanian Electric Power Corporation (KESH) and OSHEE: Energy remains a " gold mine " where economic operators clash fiercely over procurement procedures, often denouncing exclusionary criteria.
Albanian Road Authority (ARRSH): Although with fewer procedures in number than hospitals, the monetary value of complaints here is staggering, reflecting the perpetual doubts over road tenders.
Fines that don't scare anyone
What leaves you speechless in this report is the resistance of the institutions. The CPC has had to send dozens of official requests to force the institutions to implement its decisions.
This means that the leaders of our institutions have no problem breaking the law, even when they are caught red-handed .
Referring only 3 cases to the Prosecutor's Office throughout the year seems like a mockery of citizens.
When you have over 1,100 complaints and hundreds of tenders canceled or modified for violations, how can only 3 cases be considered criminal?
The KPP report for 2025 confirms what critical journalists have long been saying: tenders in Albania are a sport where the winner is known before the competition starts.
The “ ISO 37001 ” certification for the fight against bribery, which the KPP boasts about at the end of the report, looks like a luxurious facade on a building that is rotting from the inside.
Until the Prosecution Service starts reading these reports with the same diligence as we do, taxpayers' money will continue to feed the same " hotbed of corruption " that the CPC documents so carefully every year./ vna
