Cartel
Cartels are groups of suppliers acting illegally in concert to artificially influence the price and quantity of supply.
The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) Glossary of procurement terms, defines a cartel as: ‘A group of companies claiming to act independently, but actually acting together to control prices by price-fixing, limiting supply or other restrictive practices.’
