Context
The software administration category has catalog code 64964 in the SICE catalog. GXC SOCIEDAD ANONIMA is the awarded company.
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. The competition defense 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 the software administration category is an anti-competitive practice, it would be necessary to know the total number of suppliers authorized to sell in that category and the number of companies that actually participated in the tenders. The current information only indicates how many companies sold and the participation of one of them.
Who should answer
The Commission for the Promotion and Defense of Competition must answer whether the observed concentration in the software administration category constitutes an anti-competitive practice.
