Competition probe uncovers supplier shenanigans

Competition Commission supply chain

Details from the Competition Commission's report into the UK grocery sector shine a light into the murky depths of supermarkets' dealings with suppliers, according to the Telegraph.

Appendix 9.1 of the commission's report contains a snapshot of the 105,000 emails between buyers and suppliers, the newspaper reports.

Among the findings are: suppliers tipping off retailers about their rivals' prices and promotions; suppliers being asked to take photos inside a rival supermarket; suppliers tipping off retailers about how much product was to be supplied to a competing retailer.
