Dominican Republic: CLDP Holds Workshop on Combating Collusion in Procurement

-

On July 14-15, CLDP, in coordination with the U.S. Department of Justice and General Services Administration, held a two-day virtual workshop for the Dominican General Directorate for Public Contracting (DGCP) and the Procurement Commission on detecting and combating collusion in public procurement. U.S. procurement experts discussed how to identify characteristics of bid rigging, prevent the formation of cartels, and implement enforcement practices in antitrust cases involving public procurement. Last November, the DGCP and the Procurement Commission signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to enhance cooperation, which CLDP had facilitated through its programming with each entity. This workshop represents the first activity to implement this MOU and expand antitrust expertise throughout the Dominican government.
