Abstract

Teaming arrangements are alliances among competitors in order to participate in public procurements. In the previous legislation, this act was analyzed by CADE as a merger, requiring approval by the body, for the regularity of the public contract. Currently, Law n. 12.529/2011 expressly provides that such modality of agreement does not represent a merger, but it does not mean an antitrust exemption regarding to the practices. Therefore, taking into account the relevant risks to competitors' agreement without any antitrust scrutiny, we defend the legislative amendment in view to make feasible the structural appraisal of this act, before formalizing the contract with the Public Power.
