Preventing Bid Rigging in the Public Procurement Process: Discussion
Mr. Brian McHugh:
I cannot speak for the Department. It is absolutely a priority for us as we have explained today. We recognise the amount of legislation we have seen recently - the Competition (Amendment) Act, the Consumer Rights Act and the price indication directive. We have worked closely with the Department on quite a bit of legislation recently. Obviously, I cannot speak to what gets prioritised and how soon it happens. From our point of view, we want it as soon as we can get it.
