Joint Tendering Guide

National competition authorities in the European Union have been very active over the last few years in enforcing antitrust rules in the context of calls for tenders (whether organized by public or private customers). In particular, joint tendering agreements, where various companies decide to team up to submit a joint bid, have attracted much attention and have sometimes been subject to sanctions.

Assessing the validity of these agreements is a challenging exercise that requires finding the right balance between potential restrictions to competition and efficiencies.

Our simple and straightforward questionnaire will give you a preliminary view on the compliance of your joint tendering agreement with antitrust rules.
