The Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) held the 24th meeting of related agencies for improving the public sector bid-rigging monitoring system on December 10th at 2 PM. The meeting was attended by representatives from 15 agencies, including the Public Procurement Service, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, Korea Land and Housing Corporation, Korea Expressway Corporation, Korea Railroad Corporation, and Korea Water Resources Corporation.
During the meeting, public sector ordering institutions discussed sharing the current status of bid-rigging monitoring and preventive measures in the field of public procurement. This meeting utilized the bid-rigging indication analysis system, introduced by the KFTC in 2006, to quantitatively analyze and utilize collected information for case investigations.
The head of the KFTC Cartel Investigation Bureau expressed hopes that the meeting would enhance the government-wide capability to respond to bid-rigging, emphasizing the importance of efforts to prevent bid-rigging at the bidding sites. He added that there is a need to carefully examine if bid-rigging formation is being induced during the bidding process.
