It explains how the competition law prohibitions on collusion and bid-rigging apply to public tender processes. It describes how the Procurement Act strengthens the competition law grounds for excluding bidders, introduces a mandatory debarment regime, and expands the Competition and Markets Authority's enforcement role. The video also identifies key practical considerations for both contracting authorities and suppliers, including how bidders can manage risk by adopting compliance programmes, and apply for leniency if involved in a competition infringement. Finally, the video considers the anticipated impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on enforcement and procurement processes.</description><guid>https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/Document/I1b477a99425011f18619811f89168d29/View/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=%28sc.Default%29</guid></item><item><title>The Construction Briefing podcast, episode 56: building safety and liability orders, payment notice and reforms and... goodbye </title><link>https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/Document/I784313a338f511f1a34ac71bb9879c27/View/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=%28sc.Default%29</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/Document/I784313a338f511f1a34ac71bb9879c27/View/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=%28sc.Default%29</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2026 00:00:00 CDT</pubDate><description>This episode marks the final instalment of The Construction Briefing podcast.
