On 10 March the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) responded to the government’s consultation on its green paper entitled ‘Transforming public procurement’.
The CMA’s response details ways in which reforms can harness the benefits of healthy, competitive markets – including a proposal that ‘effective competition’ should be included as a legal principle of public procurement, to drive better value for money and reduce the risk of illegal bid-rigging cartels.
