The Russian FAS first began proceedings on the grounds of cartel conspiracy, based on the data of the GIS “Anticartel”. Artificial intelligence built into the system independently identified suspicious signs during bidding. The amount of these purchases exceeded 676 million rubles.
The two suppliers were involved. According to the agency, in 2024-2026, these organizations played out the appearance of rivalry in order to keep prices at auctions for servicing the buildings of children's educational institutions.
The total cost of purchases amounted to 676.6 million rubles. If the guilt of the companies is confirmed, they may face administrative penalties in the form of fines.
GIS "Anticartel" was launched in 2025. It is necessary to prevent and identify agreements that restrict competition. Since 2026, the FAS began to use artificial intelligence in it as part of the department’s digital transformation program.
