BBG Tender Winner – Exclusive provider for public entities.
From 2002 to 2017, at least 40 Austrian construction companies—including STRABAG and PORR—illegally colluded on pricing in over 2,400 public and private tenders. They largely eliminated competition in the whole Austrian construction industry, leading to estimated overcharges of up to 30%.
