Kh. Nyambaatar: Long-delayed projects will be canceled, and funds will be concentrated on building schools and kindergartens

A total of 106 projects and measures have been transferred to the Capital City Procurement Agency under the 2025 “Delegation of Authority” Order No. 19 of the Governor of the Capital City. Official letters were sent to the organizations responsible for overseeing these 106 projects and measures, and as of today, 69 design plans and work assignments have been received. Additionally, the design plans and work assignments for three projects and measures have been returned to the client, and the tender process has been announced. During the urgent meeting of the city's executive officers, D. Batsetseg, the head of the Capital City Procurement Agency, reported that there are a total of 41 projects and measures—9 ongoing without design plans, work assignments, or technical specifications, and 32 new ones.

The Governor of the Capital City and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar, Kh. Nyambaatar, stated, "When it comes to budget approval, everyone is eager to secure their funding, but if you cannot complete the work, take responsibility." Organizations that have received procurement authority must explain why they are unable to announce tenders for new projects. If they cannot implement long-delayed projects, they should prioritize and withdraw them. Funds should be allocated to essential projects such as schools and kindergartens. Additionally, if they fail to provide technical specifications or cannot explain the delays in announcing new tenders, strict deadlines will be imposed. Failure to meet these obligations will result in disciplinary action. For example, the construction of Bus Depot III was planned in 2018, and the tender was divided among 13 companies. Now, all of them have turned into paper companies. It is unacceptable to take six or seven years to build a single depot. Cancel the contracts of companies that fail to deliver results. Improving the tender process by setting higher standards for sales revenue and company qualifications is necessary. There are also companies delaying school and kindergarten construction, preventing their timely completion. Corrupt tenders are stalling investment projects, and such companies must be dealt with. If necessary, blacklist them and exclude them from future procurement processes, he stated.
