CADE and the OECD publish report with their assessment of government procurement processes in Brazil

The Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), together with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Develpment (the OECD), is scheduled to publish next Wednesday (19 May) the report "Fighting bid rigging in Brazil: a review of federal public procurement". The event is set to happen remotely, at 10:00 Brasília Time (BRT), and will have the participation of authorities from both the Brazilian antitrust agency and the OECD.

The project was started in November 2019 aimed at assessing the regulatory framework related to government procurement processes and contracts. The report includes an assessment of current government procurement procedures in Brazil in addition to recommendations for bettering the mechanisms for the prevention and detection of bid rigging in public procurements, in accordance with the OECD recommendations and guidelines. 

CADE will be represented by its President, Alexandre Barreto, its Superintendent General, Alexandre Cordeiro, and its Deputy Superintendent, Diogo Thomson. The OECD will be represented by the Deputy Director of its Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs, António Gomes, the Acting Head of its Competition Division, António Capobianco, and competition experts Iratxe Gurpegui and Jordi Calvet Bademunt.
