High risk #03 New companies

New companies winning public money

Companies collecting public money days after being registered.

Suppliers that won public money within 90 days of registration. A company with no accounts, staff or experience that wins straight away may have been set up for that very contract. Each row is one company, with what it won in those 90 days in each stream: tenders, direct purchases and offline purchases.

Suppliers flagged

9,165

Won in the first 90 days

1.15 Bn.

Average age at first win

37.0 days

Flagged companies by year of first win

Years marked * are not fully covered by the data: 2018, 2026.

The data opens in April 2018, so in its first years “first paid” partly means “first seen”: the population is overstated there and the rate understated.

Value won, by stream

The three streams add up exactly to the total. The suppliers do not: a company that won in several streams appears in each.

Suppliers and the value they won, by company age at first win

How it is computed

Computed on every award from 2018 to today.

  1. The registration date comes from the trade register, by CUI. Where the register holds several dates, the earliest is kept.
  2. The three streams are walked separately, each by its own date: the contract date for tenders, the finalisation date for direct purchases, the publication date for offline purchases.
  3. Only awards within 90 days of registration are kept, the registration day included.
  4. Per stream and per company: the number of contracts, the value, the date of the first win and the days until it. Of a tender won by an association only the company's share counts; a direct purchase counts as one contract.
  5. The three streams go on one row, and their values are added into a total.
  6. Only companies with a total above 10,000 lei are kept.

Thresholds

  • Critical risk: first win at most 30 days after incorporation
  • High risk: first win between 31 and 90 days
  • Minimum value: more than 10,000 RON in the first 90 days, across all streams

Only the company's first 90 days count. A company under 10,000 lei in that window does not appear. Subcontracting is not in the data.

A new company is not necessarily a shell: entrepreneurs set up new companies for a project, and a restructuring brings a new CUI. The signal is in the combination: a very young company, a large sum and above all a tender won days after registration, when it could not prove any experience.

Rows per page: 25 50 100
Supplier
The flagged company. One row is one company.
Registered
The registration date, from the trade register. The 90 days are counted from it.
Total
The three streams added up. The 10,000 lei floor applies to it; the table is ordered by it by default.
Tenders
Tender contracts within the first 90 days, by contract date. The hardest to explain for a new company, since tenders usually require experience.
Direct purchases
Direct purchases finalised within the first 90 days.
Offline purchases
Offline purchases published within the first 90 days.
#
How many awards the company won in that stream within the window.
Value
The value won in that stream. The link opens the stream's listing filtered on the supplier and the 90 days. The tender listing shows notices, published after the contract, so its period ends at the last notice holding one of these contracts.
First win (days)
Days from registration to the first win in that stream, with the date underneath. Up to 30 days the figure is shown in red.
