Georgia Publishes Forestry Contract Complaint Against Supplier Lemari

Georgia's State Procurement Agency published a public notice on November 5, 2026, concerning a complaint from the National Forestry Agency about a private contractor's performance under a 2024 forestry-services agreement. The notice identifies the supplier as Lemari LLC, registration number 439395664, and the procurement as electronic tender SPA240001078. The public notification documents an allegation by the procuring agency, not a final determination that the supplier broke the law or a finding of fraud.

The procurement agency says it received the National Forestry Agency's written notification on October 8, 2026. The forestry authority's letter, numbered GOVN11/6205 and registered as 7467, alleged improper performance of obligations under public procurement contract No. 173, signed on August 29, 2024. The agency made the matter public nearly four weeks after receiving the letter. The notice establishes the existence of the complaint and the named contract, but does not establish a court judgment, final debarment or quantified financial loss.

An independently maintained procurement database operated by Transparency International Georgia's Tender Monitor lists SPA240001078 among National Forestry Agency tenders. It identifies Lemari as the supplier and describes the purchase as forestry-related services under CPV code 77200000. Its listing gives an estimated tender value of GEL75,421 and a recorded contract value of GEL88,977.26. Those figures are procurement values, not amounts established as misused, unpaid or lost. The database also marks the tender with indicators of limited competition and dependence on one procurer. Such indicators are screening signals, not findings of misconduct.

The tender database shows two other nearby 2024 forestry-service tenders, SPA240001079 and SPA240001080, also associated with Lemari. The new public notice specifically names SPA240001078; there is no basis in the documents reviewed to extend the performance complaint to those other contracts. The tender monitor's August 9 date is a tender listing date and should not be confused with the August 29 contract signing date identified in the government notice.

The next substantive questions are what deliverables the National Forestry Agency says were deficient, whether the supplier contests the allegation, whether a formal exclusion or other administrative sanction follows, and whether the contract was corrected, terminated or paid in full. The accessible notice and tender listing do not provide the supplier's response or a final case disposition. TFNOS will report a material subsequent decision or documented reply if verified, rather than treating this initial complaint as proof of wrongdoing.
