Fines imposed on Bowmer and Kirkland, Durkan, Herbert Baggaley, Mansell, Thomas Fish and Wildgoose Construction
Six construction firms paid and received compensation payments in the bid-rigging scandal, the Office of Fair Trading has revealed.
Bowmer and Kirkland, Durkan Ltd, Herbert Baggaley Construction Ltd, Mansell, Thomas Fish and Sons Ltd, and Wildgoose Construction Ltd all paid or received money from one another.
In April 2002, Mansell, a subsidiary of Balfour Beatty, received around 拢10,000 in compensation payment from Wildgoose.
Less than a year later, Mansell paid around 拢60,000 to Durkan over a project in Dover Street, London.
Meanwhile, evidence was found that Bowmer and Kirkland paid Herbert Baggaley around 拢10,000 for work on a site owned by the Daily Telegraph in Derby in December 2001.
Nearly all of the firms found guilty of involvement with compensation payments opted for leniency, and subsequently received lesser fines.
Only Bowmer and Kirkland, which was fined nearly 拢7.5m, and Durkan Ltd, fined 拢6.7m, did not receive leniency.
