Preventing Bid Rigging in the Public Procurement Process: Discussion

Ms Anne Stewart:

Any market irregularity would be of concern to us. From an OGP perspective, we have not had any suspicions through the tender processes we have run. As Mr. McHugh mentioned, it is incredibly difficult to detect, unfortunately, not least on a tender-by-tender basis. Where we can really see bid-rigging and that type of behaviour is through multiple tenders, which is why access to the data is so important.
