TEİAŞ imposes 1-year tender ban on Kontrolmatik
TEİAŞ has issued a 1-year public tender exclusion against Kontrolmatik following audit findings and payment disputes, published 15 October 2026.
The Turkish transmission system operator, TEİAŞ, has barred major engineering and automation firm Kontrolmatik from participating in public tenders for a period of 1 year. Published on 15 October 2026, the official decision follows an investigation into contract execution, audit discrepancies, and payment frictions that unfolded between late spring and autumn.
For high-voltage grid infrastructure in the region, the temporary disqualification of a prominent contractor carries direct repercussions. Engineering, procurement, and construction contractors handle key packages for transmission substations, protection systems, and turnkey substation automation. When a transmission system operator implements a statutory ban, ongoing bids are disrupted, and competing consortia must absorb additional project volume. Substation delivery programmes reliant on specialized engineering services face reshuffling, potentially extending project timelines for grid reinforcement and renewable connection nodes.
Disputes over payment terms and contractual milestone verification reflect the broader pressures facing transmission capital schemes. Tight delivery windows, volatile component prices, and stringent audit oversight have strained working relationships between system operators and turnkey contractors. For transmission assets under development, such friction risks creating administrative bottlenecks, delaying the financial close and physical commissioning of critical substation bays.
What this means for asset owners in Türkiye: Independent power producers, industrial plant operators, and transmission project developers across Türkiye face immediate adjustments to their procurement window and contractor selection. With an active engineering firm excluded from public tenders for 1 year, developer teams must re-evaluate turnkey procurement schedules, secure alternate engineering packages, and prepare for extended lead time pressures on substation balance-of-plant delivery to avoid delayed energisation.
