28 Feb 2024 Bloem Infra B.V.; Den Ouden Infra B.V. (Kronzeuge, 0 €)Netherlands: 59,000 EUR against construction company over sham bid in school playground tender NetherlandsCartels and collusion €59,000

In the tender for the design of a school playground in Roermond, Bloem Infra passed its bid on in advance to Den Ouden, which then deliberately bid higher (cover pricing). The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) imposed a fine of 59,000 EUR on Bloem Infra; Den Ouden escaped a fine as the first to come forward.

What organisations can take from it

Even a single "helper bid" between construction companies on a small municipal contract is sanctioned – the first to come forward goes unpunished.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
