18 Dec 2024 MaxBuild LimitedMaxBuild: 500,000 NZD in New Zealand's first criminal cartel case €273,179
The construction company coordinated its bids with a competitor in tenders run by the NZ Transport Agency (national transport authority; Northern Corridor Improvement Project) and Auckland Transport (refurbishment of the Middlemore Bridge). After guilty pleas to four charges of price fixing, the High Court in Auckland imposed a fine of 500,000 NZD on 18 December 2024 in the country's first criminal cartel prosecution; without the mitigating factors, around 1 million NZD would have been appropriate according to the court.
Cover bids in favour of a competitor have been a criminal offence in New Zealand since 2021 – tender teams must never coordinate prices with competitors.
