Lunch and Learn – Webinar examining Bid Rigging Risks in Public Procurement.

Cyd, supporting public procurement and commercial capability across Wales, is pleased to be hosting the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to deliver a Lunch and Learn webinar examining the risks of bid rigging in public procurement, and how public bodies can identify and respond to cartel behaviour.

With approximately £11.4 billion spent annually on public procurement in Wales, the session will support public sector organisations to protect fair competition, secure value for money and comply with competition and procurement law.

What will the event cover?

The webinar will include:

• An overview of bid rigging and cartel behaviour in public procurement
• Identification of key red flags and warning signs to look out for
• Case studies drawn from recent CMA bid‑rigging investigations
• An overview of how the recently passed Procurement Act may impact working arrangements and procurement practice in Wales
• Insight into the CMA’s use of data analytics tools to detect bid rigging in public procurement data
• Practical guidance on the safest steps to take when reporting suspicious behaviour

Who is this event for?

The event welcomes public sector procurement and commercial professionals, including those involved in commissioning, tendering, evaluation, contract management and governance, who want to strengthen their understanding of competition risks and learn how to identify and address potential bid‑rigging behaviour.

This event is delivered in partnership with the Competition and Markets Authority and hosted by the Cyd Service, a Welsh Government‑funded service
