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.

• Specification · Medium · Brand required without an "or equivalent" clause · Spektrofotometru un fluorimetru piegāde LBTU laboratorijas vajadzībām · Latvijas Biozinātņu un tehnoloģiju universitāte · 2026-06-26

  The procurement specification explicitly names a specific product model ('OS5p+ Advanced Modulated Fluorometer') as the subject of the procurement without providing any 'or equivalent' (vai ekvivalents / vai analogs) allowance, effectively restricting the competition to this specific brand and model.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Mēbeļu piegāde un uzstādīšana Rīgas 84.vidusskolas vajadzībām · Rīgas Imantas vidusskola · 2026-06-25

  The specification combines highly specific dimensions, material densities, and mechanical locking positions (e.g., 8 fixed positions for seat depth) that collectively restrict the market to a single product model, as noted by the potential bidder in the procurement clarification process.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Oftalmoloģijas ultraskaņas iekārtas piegāde, uzstādīšana un apmācības · SIA „Dobeles un apkārtnes slimnīca” · 2026-06-25

  The bidder identified 0,046 mm as a specific software step (pixel ratio) of one manufacturer with no clinical justification, yet the commission refused to change it.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Oftalmoloģijas ultraskaņas iekārtas piegāde, uzstādīšana un apmācības · SIA „Dobeles un apkārtnes slimnīca” · 2026-06-25

  The bidder noted that 30 fps is an artificial technical threshold not clinically necessary for static structure diagnostics and that it narrows the pool of competitors, yet the commission refused to change it.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Oftalmoloģijas ultraskaņas iekārtas piegāde, uzstādīšana un apmācības · SIA „Dobeles un apkārtnes slimnīca” · 2026-06-25

  The procurement commission acknowledged that this specific requirement was a narrow, specific design feature of one manufacturer that excluded others, leading them to amend the specification.

• Specification · Medium · Physical proximity requirement restricts bidders · Jaunu pasažieru autobusu piegāde Limbažu novada pašvaldībai · Limbažu novada pašvaldība · 2026-06-22

  Requirements demand physical proximity (within a set km radius), which restricts competition to local suppliers.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Jaunu pasažieru autobusu piegāde Limbažu novada pašvaldībai · Limbažu novada pašvaldība · 2026-06-22

  The geographic restriction on the location of the authorized service center is a narrow parameter that limits competition based on location rather than performance, especially when other contractual clauses already mandate specific response times for maintenance.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Jaunu pasažieru autobusu piegāde Limbažu novada pašvaldībai · Limbažu novada pašvaldība · 2026-06-22

  The requirement for a maximum engine displacement of 2000 cm3 is a specific technical parameter that restricts the market to smaller engines, potentially excluding manufacturers who meet all other performance, emission, and power requirements with slightly larger engines, as noted in the bidder's challenge.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Vispārīgā vienošanās minerālmēslu, augu aizsardzības līdzekļu, melnzemes, sēklu piegāde LU vajadzībām · Latvijas Universitāte · 2026-06-19

  The specification for the wheelbarrow is extremely narrow, defining exact volume (80L), load capacity (150kg), material thickness (0.6mm), and wheel type (2 solid wheels) without any tolerance or 'or equivalent' clause, which effectively restricts the market to a single specific product model.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Oftalmoloģijas kabineta aprīkojuma iegāde un uzstādīšana SIA "LIMBAŽU SLIMNĪCA" vajadzībām · Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "LIMBAŽU SLIMNĪCA" · 2026-06-18

  The procurement authority maintains a specific measurement precision requirement (0.046 mm) for ophthalmic ultrasound equipment that is identified by a market participant as a proprietary software step unique to one manufacturer, lacking clinical justification for such specific precision in manual diagnostic procedures.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Sausās hidromasāžas iekārtas piegāde · Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību “Preiļu slimnīca” · 2026-06-18

  The commission reduced the required procedure duration range from 60 minutes to 30 minutes despite a request to allow for flexibility, creating a narrow parameter that limits the equipment's operational capacity.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Sausās hidromasāžas iekārtas piegāde · Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību “Preiļu slimnīca” · 2026-06-18

  The commission explicitly rejected a bidder's request to include a tolerance (±5 °C) or a broader range, insisting on a specific, narrow temperature range that may exclude otherwise functional equipment.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Automašīnas iegāde operatīvajā līzingā · Ķekavas novada pašvaldība · 2026-06-17

  The requirement for zero deductible (bez pašriska) on KASKO insurance for the entire 60-month lease period is an extremely restrictive parameter that significantly limits the pool of eligible insurance providers, as standard market practice typically involves some form of deductible.

• Qualification · Medium · Required turnover disproportionate to contract value · Žurnāla “Jurista Vārds” drukas materiālu tipogrāfiskā iespiešana · Valsts sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "Latvijas Vēstnesis" · 2026-06-15

  Required turnover ≈ 258 000 EUR is 2.0× the contract value (129 000 EUR), above the 2× proportionality threshold.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Zāles pļaušanas tehnikas piegāde · Pārtikas drošības, dzīvnieku veselības un vides zinātniskais institūts "BIOR" · 2026-06-12

  The combination of a very specific engine displacement range (990-1200 cm³) paired with specific minimum RPM requirements for both normal and maximum engine speeds is highly restrictive and likely tailored to the specific engine specifications of the Kubota ZD1211R model mentioned in the same document.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Medicīnas ierīču vienreizējai lietošanai piegāde 1.daļa · Valsts sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "Bērnu klīniskā universitātes slimnīca" · 2026-06-10

  The procurement authority included a specific size 'N 717' in their revised technical specification despite a supplier explicitly pointing out in the inquiry that 'Izmērs N717 nepastāv' (Size N717 does not exist). Including a non-existent size suggests the specification is tailored to a specific product or is fundamentally flawed in a way that restricts competition.

• Network · Medium · Winner was registered shortly before winning · Ēdināšanas pakalpojuma nodrošināšana · Valsts sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "Paula Stradiņa klīniskā universitātes slimnīca" · 2026-06-08

  Winning supplier "Sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību "CNC"" was registered 167 days before this contract was concluded, well below the norm for this dataset (even the 1st percentile winner was registered 533+ days before award).

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Profesionālās mācību virtuves iekārtu un piederumu piegāde un uzstādīšana Sveķu pamatskolas vajadzībām · Gulbenes novada pašvaldība · 2026-06-07

  The procurement authority insists on a technical requirement (6 kW power at 230 V voltage) that is physically incompatible with standard electrical infrastructure (as noted by the bidder, 230V circuits typically cannot support 6 kW), effectively narrowing the market to non-existent or highly specialized equipment that defies standard electrical engineering practices for professional kitchen appliances.

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Būvniecības informācijas sistēmas uzturēšanas un pilnveides pakalpojumi · Būvniecības valsts kontroles birojs · 2026-06-07

  The requirement lists a very specific and unusual combination of legacy and niche technologies (e.g., 'Cruvy', 'CoachDB') as a mandatory set for programmers, which is highly likely to exclude any candidate not already working with this exact, non-standard stack.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Transportlīdzekļu riepu iegāde · Valsts akciju sabiedrība "Latvijas Valsts radio un televīzijas centrs" · 2026-06-05

  The procurement authority requires membership in a specific trade association (ETRMA) as a criterion for awarding points in the evaluation process, despite the IUB (Procurement Monitoring Bureau) clarifying that such membership is not a valid indicator of quality or capability and that technical requirements should be proven through objective testing and certification instead.

• Network · Medium · Winner was registered shortly before winning · Latvāņu ierobežošana saskaņā ar Latvāņu izplatības ierobežošanas pasākumu organizatorisko plānu Siguldas novadā · Siguldas novada pašvaldība · 2026-06-04

  Winning supplier "SIA LLAB" was registered 280 days before this contract was concluded, well below the norm for this dataset (even the 1st percentile winner was registered 533+ days before award).

• Process · Medium · Sole bid landed suspiciously close to the internal estimate · Hokeja inventāra iegāde Rīgas Hokeja skolai · Rīgas valstspilsētas pašvaldības Ārtelpas un mobilitātes departaments · 2026-06-04

  The only bid (41 999 EUR) is within 0.0% of the estimate (41 999 EUR).

• Specification · High · Specification parameters narrowly match one product · Meža un dārza tehnikas iegāde Salaspils novada pašvaldības iestādēm 2026.gadā · Salaspils novada pašvaldība · 2026-06-04

  The procurement authority insists on a specific engine displacement threshold of 1100 cm³ despite bidder feedback that professional-grade equipment with slightly smaller displacement (approx. 900 cm³) meets all performance requirements (23 HP). By refusing to allow a lower displacement threshold or a performance-based alternative, the specification is tailored to exclude otherwise capable professional equipment, effectively narrowing the field to specific models that meet this arbitrary volumetric constraint.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Objekta „ED dambja daļēja nojaukšana” būvuzraudzība · Rīgas brīvostas pārvalde · 2026-06-04

  The requirement mandates that the lead supervisor must have held the specific status of 'responsible supervisor' (atbildīgais būvuzraugs) on a previous project, explicitly rejecting equivalent experience gained as a 'supervisor' (būvuzraugs), despite both roles requiring the same professional certification and performing the same technical duties. This restricts competition by excluding qualified professionals who performed the same work under a different administrative title.

• Qualification · Medium · Certification requirement exceeds the contract's scope · Par tiesībām piegādāt elektroģeneratorus · Neatliekamās medicīniskās palīdzības dienests · 2026-06-04

  The requirement for a manufacturer's testing department to be accredited under EN ISO/IEC 17025 is identified as disproportionate and not standard for generator manufacturers, as noted by the bidder. This standard is typically for independent testing laboratories, not production facilities, creating an unnecessary barrier to entry.
