A New Zealand company was fined $30,000 for bid-rigging on public road projects, far below the recommended amount due to financial hardship.
New Zealand’s first criminal cartel prosecution concluded with a second company fined $30,000—far below the $595,000 recommended—due to financial hardship, in a bid-rigging case tied to public roading projects.
The case, uncovered in 2022 after an employee accidentally sent a spreadsheet with competitor pricing, revealed collusion between the company and MaxBuild Ltd. Justice Sally Fitzgerald called the conduct deceptive, while the Commerce Commission called it a landmark enforcement action.
The Commission continues to combat cartels through education and anonymous reporting, stressing the risks of fake bids in public procurement.
