Office for the Protection of Competition finds no wrongdoing in tender on police vehicles

The Czech Office for the Protection of Competition has completed an investigation into the largest tender in the history of the Czech police force, finding no wrongdoing in proceedings. The tender on new police vehicles, worth 1.3 billion crowns (the equivalent of around 68 million US dollars) favoured the Mladá Boleslav-based car manufacturer Škoda Auto. The Ford Motor Company put forward a complaint alleging that the Interior Ministry set conditions which unfairly favoured the winning company.
