L’Autorità garante della concorrenza e del mercato (Agcm) ha deliberato che sono venuti meno i motivi di intervento nei confronti delle società Converge S.p.A., Italware S.r.l., Computer Gross S.p.A. e Zucchetti Informatica S.p.A.
Come si ricorderà, con provvedimento del 17 luglio 2019, l’AGCM aveva avviato un’istruttoria nei confronti delle predette società al fine di accertare una possibile violazione dell’art. 101 TFUE nell’ambito di alcune edizioni delle gare Consip PC desktop.
In particolare, la violazione ipotizzata sarebbe consistita nella realizzazione di accordi commerciali verticali che, implicando condizioni di maggior favore, avrebbe contribuito a limitare il numero dei partecipanti alle gare.
All’esito dell’istruttoria espletata, l’Agcm ha ritenuto gli elementi raccolti non sufficienti a dimostrare l’esistenza di un’intesa restrittiva della concorrenza.
