The data belong to the 1000 main companies contracted by Municipalities ranked by contract value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tirana is the municipality, where women-owned businesses have recorded the highest contractual value of 761,695,612 Albanian Lek\u00eb. Such value, however, does not represent a fair gender distribution of tenders, considering that it represents only 1.02% of the total value contracted by this Municipality to its main contractors. The Municipality of Shkodra is ranked in the second place in terms of the total value contracted to women-owned businesses. The value of contracts signed with women-owned companies in this municipality, i.e. 318 952 556 Albanian Lek\u00eb, represents 8.03% of the total contracted value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"ee29ef6d-04a8-4207-be2f-a6611fc18110\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Untitled infographic\"><\/div><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><div style=\"padding:8px 0;font-family:Arial!important;font-size:13px!important;line-height:15px!important;text-align:center;border-top:1px solid #dadada;margin:0 30px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Tirana and Shkodra are followed by the municipalities of Elbasan, Mirdita, and Puka. The value contracted to women-owned business companies in these municipalities is quite low with the highest value reaching 8% of the total value of tenders subject to this analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Municipality of Delvina does not even have any contracts with Women-Owned Businesses at all. If we look at the share of tender-based contracts awarded to women-owned companies for the sample subject to this analysis, the result is only 1.17%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"21d328cb-3882-4b0c-aa4f-fdf84842d9a9\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Untitled infographic\"><\/div><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><div style=\"padding:8px 0;font-family:Arial!important;font-size:13px!important;line-height:15px!important;text-align:center;border-top:1px solid #dadada;margin:0 30px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Such ratio is not proportionate, considering that 25-30% of businesses companies in the country are owned by women. The low share of women-owned business companies in tenders is an indicator of the severe nature of the competition and the need for enhancing the capacity of women-owned businesses in the tendering process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may find the individual passport of each of the ranked companies in the Open Corporates Albania Portal <a href=\"https:\/\/opencorporates.al\/sq\/company\">&nbsp;under the Municipality Contracted Companies section <\/a>including information on the company, its activity, date of establishment, owners, managers, economic performance over the years, legal matters, ownership and administration from the gender perspective, the list of Treasury Payments, and the contracts awarded to it through tender procedures.
