The Competition Commission is working on a “digital screen-based” system to detect possible cartelization in public procurement tenders, a senior official said Monday.
The fair trade regulator has been working on ways to curb anti-competitive practices across sectors in the marketplace, and public procurement is a key area as it accounts for around 20% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).
