OECD workshop - Strengthening bid rigging detection and reporting
Register your interest in the upcoming OECD workshop in Ireland
Ireland is hosting a bid rigging detection and reporting workshop for public procurement officials from the 9th to the 10th February 2027 in Dublin as part of an international initiative.
Bid rigging is one of the most damaging anticompetitive practices. It leads to higher costs, lower quality and lower innovation, and undermines the delivery of public services.
The workshops will bring together public procurement professionals and experts to build awareness of bid-rigging risks and strengthen the capacity of public bodies to identify and respond to potentially anti-competitive conduct that harms public procurement.

About the initiative
This workshop forms part of the OECD project Strengthening bid rigging detection and reporting in Czechia, France, Ireland, Latvia, Poland and Portugal.
The project aims to strengthen compliance with competition law in public procurement by improving the ability of procurement professionals to detect bid rigging, improving mechanisms for reporting suspected bid rigging and strengthening cooperation between competition authorities and contracting authorities.
The project is led by the OECD and funded by the European Union through the Technical Support Instrument.
