SUMMARY:Virtual RCC Seminar – Tackling Bid Rigging in Public Procurement
LOCATION:Online ()
DESCRIPTION: The aim of this seminar is to explore the notion of bid rigg
 ing where groups of undertakings conspire to raise prices or lower the q
 uality of the goods or services offered in public tenders. OECD countrie
 s spend approximately 12% of their GDP in public procurement. The elimin
 ation of bid rigging could help reduce procurement prices by 20% or more
 . Competition authorities may play a key role in preventing and tackling
  this anti-competitive practice\, which costs governments and taxpayers 
 billions of dollars every year. Expert competition officials will illust
 rate enforcement and advocacy actions conducted in their jurisdictions\,
  also in light of the OECD Guidelines for Fighting Bid Rigging in Public
  Procurement.
