Identification of suspected cartel cases

Challenge

• An internationally active group wants to analyse supplier behaviour in the bidding process in order to identify possible suspected cases of price fixing

• The data comes from different source systems (e.g. auction tools or e-tendering portal) and is very complex.

Solution

• A data pipeline for loading data from different systems and preparing and providing the data for analysis

• Implementation of a set of selected algorithms for the detection of suspicious behaviour patterns

• Creation of a customised dashboard to present the screening results in a comprehensible way to various relevant stakeholders

Result

• The demand carriers receive an overview of the most conspicuous supplier behaviour.

• The Group can identify suspected cases quickly and follow them up in a targeted manner
