Integrity findings

Every confirmed integrity finding across all tenders, filterable by family, severity, and indicator -- browse by kind of concern instead of opening tenders one by one.

Automated screening based on procurement documents and award history. Findings are only shown here once a human reviewer has confirmed them; this is not an allegation of wrongdoing.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Pacientu vitālo funkciju monitoru piederumu piegāde III · Valsts sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "Paula Stradiņa klīniskā universitātes slimnīca" · 2026-07-08

  The requirement for a manufacturer's authorization to distribute goods is a restrictive qualification criterion that often limits competition to a specific supply chain or authorized dealers, which is disproportionate for general procurement and unrelated to the technical quality of the goods themselves.

• Specification · Medium · Proprietary standard required instead of an open one · Piekļuves kontroles sistēmu izbūve Suntažu pamatskolas vajadzībām · Ogres novada pašvaldība · 2026-07-03

  The requirement mandates a specific proprietary chip technology (Gemalto PURE) for the access control system, which restricts competition to a single vendor's proprietary standard rather than allowing for open, interoperable EMV-compliant alternatives.

• Specification · Medium · Proprietary standard required instead of an open one · Jakas (5.līmenis) KFT piegāde · Valsts aizsardzības loģistikas un iepirkumu centrs · 2026-07-03

  The procurement requires compliance with a proprietary, non-standardized camouflage pattern ('WoodLatPat') without providing open-source technical specifications, digital files, or industry-standard color coordinates, effectively creating a barrier to entry for any supplier who does not already possess the proprietary data for this specific pattern.

• Competition · Low · Single supplier won every lot of a multi-lot tender · Mājokļu vides pieejamības nodrošināšana cilvēkiem ar invaliditāti Liepājā · Liepājas valstspilsētas pašvaldība · 2026-07-02

  All 4 lots of this tender were awarded to a single supplier "Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "RISE JE"".

• Network · High · Bidders share an owner or director · Laboratorijas preču un reaģentu piegāde Apvienotajai laboratorijai · Valsts sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "Paula Stradiņa klīniskā universitātes slimnīca" · 2026-07-02

  "Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "Biotecha Latvia"" and "Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "FANEKS"" both submitted bids for the same lot on this tender -- genuinely competing against each other -- yet share 1 owner/director name(s) in common (Šatcs Viktors), per Latvia's business register.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Mēbeļu iegāde Viļānu apvienības pārvaldes vajadzībām · Viļānu apvienības pārvalde · 2026-07-02

  The specification mandates a specific manufacturer's color code (Egger U708 ST9), which is a proprietary color designation, rather than a generic color description, effectively limiting the choice to a single product line.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Bērnu rotaļu laukuma iekārtu piegāde un uzstādīšana Rēzeknes valstspilsētas pirmsskolas izglītības iestāžu vajadzībām · Rēzeknes valstspilsētas pašvaldība · 2026-07-01

  The requirement for a playground structure to be certified for both indoor and outdoor use while simultaneously requiring EN 1176 (which is specifically for outdoor public playground equipment) creates a contradictory and impossible certification requirement for a single product, effectively narrowing the market to non-existent or specifically tailored solutions.

• Specification · Medium · Brand required without an "or equivalent" clause · Izglītības portāla Uzdevumi.lv paplašinātās PROF versijas licenču iegāde Jelgavas valstspilsētas pašvaldības izglītības iestāžu izglītojamiem un pedagogiem · Jelgavas valstspilsētas pašvaldība · 2026-07-01

  The procurement explicitly names and requires the specific proprietary platform 'Uzdevumi.lv' for the purchase of licenses, without providing any allowance for equivalent educational portals or platforms.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Nestandarta mēbeļu iegāde · Nodarbinātības valsts aģentūra · 2026-06-30

  The specification of an exact number of cells (25) combined with highly specific, non-standard internal dimensions (361 x 400 x 350 mm) strongly suggests the requirement was tailored to a specific manufacturer's product line, as noted by the complainant and acknowledged by the commission's need to issue a clarification.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Personāla atlases pakalpojumi akciju sabiedrības “Latvijas valsts meži” padomes locekļa atlasei · Akciju sabiedrība "Latvijas valsts meži" · 2026-06-30

  The requirement to guarantee a specific number of applicants (6) is an outcome-based guarantee that is disproportionate to the service of recruitment, as the number of applicants is largely outside the control of the recruitment agency and depends on market conditions and the attractiveness of the position.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Skatuve, tās aprīkojums un pārvietojamās skatuves uzstādīšana/demontāža Balvu novada Kultūras un tūrisma pārvaldes organizētajos pasākumos · Balvu novada pašvaldība · 2026-06-30

  The requirement mandates a specific 'TÜV' brand certification for the product's safety compliance, which is a proprietary certification body. While safety is required, mandating a specific private certification entity (TÜV) rather than accepting equivalent independent testing or CE marking (which is the standard for EU safety compliance) is disproportionate and restricts competition.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Sīpolpuķu sīpolu piegāde 2027.gadam, Ventspilī · Ventspils valstspilsētas pašvaldības iestāde “Ventspils Komunālā pārvalde” · 2026-06-30

  The authority mandates a bulb size (16/18+) for specific Allium species that biologically do not reach this size, effectively making the requirement impossible to fulfill with the specified species.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Sīpolpuķu sīpolu piegāde 2027.gadam, Ventspilī · Ventspils valstspilsētas pašvaldības iestāde “Ventspils Komunālā pārvalde” · 2026-06-30

  The authority mandates a bulb size (8/9) for a botanical species (Orange Monarch) that is biologically and commercially unavailable, as the species does not reach that size.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Sīpolpuķu sīpolu piegāde 2027.gadam, Ventspilī · Ventspils valstspilsētas pašvaldības iestāde “Ventspils Komunālā pārvalde” · 2026-06-30

  The authority mandates a bulb size (11/12) for a botanical species (Tarda) that is biologically and commercially unavailable, as the species does not reach that size. This forces a non-compliant bid or restricts the market to non-existent products.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · 3 (trīs) portatīvo autotransporta svaru komplektu iegāde ceļu satiksmes (autopārvadājumu) kontroles nodrošināšanai · Valsts policija · 2026-06-30

  The weight restriction combined with the physical dimension requirements forces a specific, lightweight design that compromises long-term durability and accuracy, effectively narrowing the field to a single type of proprietary system.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · 3 (trīs) portatīvo autotransporta svaru komplektu iegāde ceļu satiksmes (autopārvadājumu) kontroles nodrošināšanai · Valsts policija · 2026-06-30

  The specified dimensions, particularly the extremely thin platform thickness requirement (15 mm +/- 7 mm, as referenced in the bidder's question and confirmed by the commission's refusal to amend), are characteristic of a specific proprietary design (HAENNI-type) and exclude more robust, accurate, and durable weighing systems.

• Specification · Medium · Brand required without an "or equivalent" clause · Būvmateriālu piegāde · SIA JK Namu pārvalde · 2026-06-30

  The specification mandates a specific brand and product model for roofing material without providing an 'or equivalent' allowance.

• Specification · Medium · Brand required without an "or equivalent" clause · Būvmateriālu piegāde · SIA JK Namu pārvalde · 2026-06-30

  The specification explicitly names a specific brand and product line without including an 'or equivalent' clause, effectively mandating the purchase of this specific manufacturer's product.

• Specification · Medium · Proprietary standard required instead of an open one · Būvniecības ieceres “Pielāgošanas klimata pārmaiņām Salaspils pilsētas Purva rajonā” izstrāde un realizācija" · Salaspils novada pašvaldība · 2026-06-29

  The requirement mandates a specific proprietary product ('C-BOX') for the lighting control system, rather than specifying an open, industry-standard functional requirement for lighting control, which restricts competition to a single vendor.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Motorinstrumentu operatora praktiskās apmācības pakalpojums · Meža pētīšanas stacija · 2026-06-29

  The requirement mandates a specific international certification (ECC) for instructors. Given that this is a practical training service for motor tool operators in Latvia, requiring a specific international certification rather than accepting national professional qualifications or equivalent pedagogical/technical experience is disproportionate and restricts the pool of qualified local instructors.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Operas un baleta tērpu un scenogrāfijas elementu tīrīšanas nodrošināšana · Valsts sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "Latvijas Nacionālā opera un balets" · 2026-06-29

  The requirement for a B-category pollution permit is disproportionate for a service contract involving the cleaning of stage costumes and textiles, which typically involves standard laundry or dry-cleaning processes that do not constitute industrial-scale polluting activities.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Modulāro (mobilo) patvertņu piegāde Sumu un Černihivas apgabalā Ukrainā · Centrālā finanšu un līgumu aģentūra · 2026-06-28

  The procurement is for the supply of modular (mobile) shelters, which is a construction/manufacturing task. Requiring a quality management system specifically for 'information systems development' (informācijas sistēmu izstrādes jomā) is unrelated to the subject matter of the procurement.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Darba aizsardzības un ugunsdrošības pakalpojumu nodrošināšana Valsts ieņēmumu dienestam un Nodokļu un muitas policijai · Valsts ieņēmumu dienests · 2026-06-27

  The procurement is for occupational safety, fire safety, and civil defense services. Requiring a certified occupational health and occupational disease physician (arodveselības un arodslimību ārsts) as a mandatory team member for a general safety service contract is disproportionate to the scope of work, which typically involves safety audits and documentation rather than medical practice.

• Specification · Medium · Brand required without an "or equivalent" clause · LASERNET SAAS D365 Standart un LASERNET SAAS D365 Add Production server lietošanas licenču piegāde · Rīgas valstspilsētas pašvaldības Centrālās administrācijas Iepirkumu pārvalde · 2026-06-26

  The procurement explicitly names a specific proprietary software product (LASERNET SAAS D365) as the subject of the purchase without any provision for equivalent products, effectively mandating a single brand.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · “Ultraskaņas siltumenerģijas un ūdens patēriņa skaitītāju iegāde SIA “VNK serviss” vajadzībām” · SIA "VNK serviss" · 2026-06-26

  The requirement for the bidder to be the manufacturer or an authorized distributor is a restrictive qualification criterion that is disproportionate to the procurement of standard commercial goods (ultrasonic meters), as it excludes independent distributors or resellers who can provide the same goods and warranties.
