Context
The "HEMOGRAM EQUIPMENT SUPPLIES" category corresponds to catalog code 37250. Public procurement refers to the spending by the state on goods and services.
The rule it puts in play
Market concentration in a category is not in itself an infringement: it may reflect a market with only one capable supplier. Competition law does prohibit agreeing or coordinating bids 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 this category constitutes an anti-competitive practice, it would be necessary to know if other suppliers could have bid. It would also be useful to analyze the evolution of concentration in this category over time and the number of bidders in each purchase process.
Who should answer
The Commission for the Promotion and Defense of Competition must respond whether the observed concentration in this category constitutes an anti-competitive practice.
