School Bus Transportation

On , the Bureau received a complaint about alleged bid-rigging following a school board's call for tenders for a contract for school bus transportation in the Quebec City region. A review of the bids suggested that four bidders had consulted each other before submitting bids for separate and distinct routes so that they could share the territory. However, the Bureau did not find any evidence of collusion among the four bidders.

In order to encourage these companies to comply with the Act in the future, Bureau officers met with their managers to provide them with information on its provisions. Official written notices and letters of warning about the alleged offence were also sent to the companies.
