Ski Taxi: Joint Bidding in Procurement as Price-Fixing?

Albert Sanchez-Graells asks Ski Taxi: Joint Bidding in Procurement as Price-Fixing?

ABSTRACT: Since joint bidding in public procurement procedures involves price-fixing between the members of the bidding consortium, the assessment of whether it reveals a sufficient degree of harm to competition only requires limited consideration of its economic and legal context, which may be restricted to what is strictly necessary to establish the existence of a restriction of competition by object.
