The Competition Council of Latvia is inviting representatives of companies and other interested parties to participate in a free educational seminar on joint participation in procurement processes. The seminar will take place online on June 11 from 11:00 to 12:30 via the MS Teams platform.

During the seminar, representatives from the Prohibited Agreements Department will explain the prerequisites for market participants who actively engage in procurement procedures, especially when forming consortia and agreeing on joint bids, ensuring compliance with competition law.

The seminar will cover topics such as conditions to avoid breaching competition law when submitting joint bids, guidelines developed by the Competition Council and their practical application, as well as examples illustrating how issues related to joint bid submissions in procurement have been assessed in practice.

Interested participants need to register in advance by filling out a registration form by June 10 at 15:00 to receive the seminar link. Additionally, the Competition Council encourages individuals to familiarize themselves with the guidelines on joint bid submissions available on their website.
