The UK competition watchdog has launched an investigation into several British roofing and construction services companies over allegations they “illegally colluded to rig bids” to win contracts for repairing schools.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it suspected that the companies, including building contractors and technical advisers, had worked together to rig bids to secure contracts funded through the government’s condition improvement fund (CIF), in particular those for roofing jobs.
