Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s Partnership for Competitive Purchasing takes a proactive approach to bid-rigging detection. Our attorneys and investigators regularly work on issues related to anticompetitive activities, giving them the expertise to help you spot bid rigging and price fixing.  The partnership offers reviews to analyze bid files for anticompetitive activities and answer your questions or concerns. This is not an audit, but a helpful on-site review to keep competition fair and healthy.
 
The Partnership for Competitive Purchasing is a voluntary program open to all Ohio public entities, including cities, counties, villages, universities, state agencies, public libraries, and school districts.

Registration for the partnership is free and easy. Just visit the Partnership for Competitive Purchasing page and select “Enroll in the Partnership for Competitive Purchasing” or call the Ohio Attorney General’s Antitrust Section at 614-466-4328.
