Notifications to rectify violations identified as a result of desk control have been sent to all state audit objects regarding the established violations.
The main types of violations in the field of public procurement are: unlawful determination of a dumping price when conducting public procurement through a tender; unlawful application of the method of public procurement from a single source through direct contract conclusion; failure to specify national and (or) interstate standards during public procurement; absence of technical specifications in the Kazakh language; failure to indicate a license (permit) during procurement; establishment of qualification requirements for potential suppliers not provided for by law.
