Abstract
Responsibility for bid rigging lies not only with cartel members or a corrupt public official. Legislators are also responsible. This paper critically analyzes some legal rules for public tenders that may facilitate anticompetitive practices, such as publication of public entities’ reserve price, the disclosure of the identity of contestants, contact between bidders and allowing consortiums without restrictions. Resting on comparative experience from OECD, Spain, Chile, Colombia, among others, the author proposes some reforms to favor competition in public procurement
