SUMMARY:Seminar on Bid Rigging and Public Procurement
LOCATION:Skopje\, FYR Macedonia ()
DESCRIPTION:The focus of the seminar will be on a special kind of cartels
  – bid rigging cartels. Characteristics of bid rigging cartels will be e
 xamined\, their treatment as a criminal offence in many jurisdictions an
 d also ways of detecting bid rigging cartels. We will use OECD materials
  on bid rigging and also on screens for cartel detection. The interplay 
 between the detection of bid rigging cartels and of leniency programmes 
 will be discussed. As public procurement is often the victim of bid rigg
 ing we will also focus on ways to alert public procurement officials to 
 illegal cartel activities and on designing tenders and we will compare d
 ifferent approaches to competition advocacy and to co-operation between 
 competition authorities and other government agencies in this area. Part
 icipants will share their experience with experts from OECD countries in
  lectures and case studies. Practical exercises on hypothetical cases in
 volving all the participants will complement the presentations and will 
 serve as an opportunity to apply the learnings of the seminar.
