The Department of Internal State Audit for the West Kazakhstan Region conducts ongoing desk control in the field of public procurement. Its main goal is the timely detection and prevention of violations, as well as providing customers with the opportunity to eliminate them independently.
Based on the results of the first half of 2026, the Department covered 12,966 out of 13,033 public procurement procedures, or 99.5%.
As a result of the control, 756 notifications on eliminating violations were sent for a total amount of 3.4 billion tenge. Of these, 754 were executed, 2 — with violation of the established deadlines. For improper execution of notifications, 12 administrative protocols were drawn up, and 11 officials were brought to administrative responsibility.
In terms of procurement methods, violations were identified during:
The most common violations were improper establishment of qualification requirements and permit documents, incorrect indication of standards in technical specifications, unlawful application of certain procurement methods, as well as posting technical specifications in only one language.
From July 1, 2026, desk control has been extended to the contract execution stage. Digital algorithms have been introduced to automatically compare the volumes of completed construction and installation works with the terms of contracts and verify the purchase of materials from legal counterparties.
In addition, at the planning stage, procurements through the electronic store have been included in the desk control profile.
The expansion and digitalization of desk control contribute to increasing the transparency and efficiency of public procurement, preventing violations, and ensuring the rational use of budget funds.
