Preventing Bid Rigging in the Public Procurement Process: Discussion
Mr. Brian McHugh:
In terms of what procurement agencies do, I am not be aware of what they might do throughout Europe. What I can say is that we follow what happens elsewhere in Europe in terms of where there is cartel activity. Unfortunately, it happens in nearly all markets with some very big players. Our approach to this issue is, as I mentioned, to identify the sectors we want to prioritise and to begin there in screening the data.
