Bid-Rigging: Awareness and Prevention
What does bid-rigging look like? How am I supposed to recognize it? What should I do if I suspect a rigged bid from a supplier to my RFP?
All these questions and more are answered by the Competition Bureau, the law enforcement agency responsible for ensuring competition in the Canadian marketplace. Not only do they explain the law involved in bid-rigging incidences, but they also help provide ideas for how to recognize bid-rigging by the supply community and what you, as a public purchaser, can and should do about it.
Green Procurement
The Responsible Purchasing Network
The Responsible Purchasing Network (RPN) is an international network of buyers dedicated to socially responsible and environmentally sustainable purchasing.
Officially founded in 2005, RPN is a program that is advised by a voluntary steering committee of leading procurement stakeholders from government, industry, educational institutions, standards setting organizations, and related organizations. Conventional institutional procurement of products and services throughout the United States often results in extensive negative impacts on public health and the environment. We are committed to the identification, utilization and dissemination of standards and practices that minimize or eliminate destructive impacts without compromising performance or cost-effectiveness.
