After parts I , II and III we finally reach part IV on the purchase or leasing of vehicles (contract type - 5) For these, the Annex establishes four different awardcriteria and two contract performance clauses/technical specifications, with issues to be found on both, mostly due to the non-technology neutral approach to the drafting.
Suppliers may remain on this list for up to 5 years and will be unable to bid for public contracts during that time. It is also important to note that the scope of the exclusion regime has been widened to include associated persons and connected persons. In practice, this is unlikely to have a significant impact on the awardcriteria.
A couple of caveats here though: I'm a lot less comfortable discussing state aid than I am publicprocurement since my expertise is in the latter.

They are also working on tools to help contracting authorities to analyze their own data, for example, to monitor the average lead time of their tenders, or decide which awardcriteria to use when preparing a tender. It is so easy to make a wrong interpretation of the data. Don’t just throw it out there.
Challenge: Despite ongoing government reforms, corruption and inefficient spending remains pervasive in Kazakhstan’s publicprocurement. And two-thirds of public spending is conducted through an opaque quasi-governmental sector. Publicprocurement is a huge field for the work of NGOs.
