Could the Minister outline the level of engagement between the Office of Government Procurement and the CCPC regarding public procurement bid-rigging? The CCPC is the State body responsible for the enforcement of competition law. One of the areas most at risk from anti-competitive behaviour is public procurement, particularly with regard to large construction contracts that involve significant amounts of money and where only a few companies bid. We need to ensure that public money is being adequately protected and that we get value for money.
