KPPU (the Indonesian Competition Commission) continues its enforcement against rigged bids, although bid-rigging investigations no longer dominate its caseloads. Initial indications of rigged bids that we laid out in our previous publication have been confirmed by the issuance of KPPU Chairman Regulation No. 3 of 2023 on Guidelines on Tender Conspiracy Prohibition ("KPPU CR 3/2023"). KPPU CR 3/2023 provides elaborate indications and scenarios of rigged bids involving various mechanics (vertical and horizontal) and stages. Businesses can use this guidance in their training materials to enhance their compliance.
