Preventing Bid Rigging in the Public Procurement Process: Discussion
Ms Anne Stewart:
I might be able to add more context to this question. There are several elements to this. First, when we run a procurement competition, we run it under presumed legal compliance. Basically, this means there is a declaration requirement within the tender documents where a tenderer must declare whether it has submitted its proposal independently and whether any legal obligations are being fallen afoul of. It could be anything in this regard, including social and environmental, along with these types of issues.
