Context
Item 25263 corresponds to Somatropin. Murry S.A. is a company that supplies the State.
The rule it puts in play
Market concentration in a specific item is not in itself an infringement: it may reflect a market with only one capable supplier. The competition defense law does prohibit agreeing or coordinating offers among competitors, and that is a different conduct that this measurement does not observe.
What is missing to say more
To assess whether market concentration in item 25263 is an anti-competitive practice, it would be necessary to know the number of suppliers authorized to sell Somatropin and the number of bids submitted in each purchase process. It would also be useful to compare Murry S.A.'s share with that of other suppliers in previous periods.
Who should answer
The Commission for Promotion and Defense of Competition must answer whether the observed market concentration in item 25263 constitutes an anti-competitive practice.
