Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) involved in uncompetitive dodgy business behaviour
Nuclear facility in hot water,THE AUSTRALIAN, BY:LEIGH DAYTON , April 05, 2012 AUSTRALIA’S nuclear research facility engaged in uncompetitive behaviour to gain a lucrative and exclusive contract with NSW Health to provide radiopharmaceuticals for medical imaging, according to the Productivity Commission.
A damning report by the commission’s Australian Government Competitive Neutrality Complains Office, released yesterday, concludes that PetNet Pty Ltd – a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation – breached competitive neutrality guidelines, set in 2004.
The report confirms PetNet effectively undercut competitive bids from private firms by relying on its relationship to ANSTO.
