These mitigation measures may include, among other things, the development of tendering rules that limit competition to non-interest, or a contractual clause limiting the supplier`s eligibility for future contracts or subcontracting, or other measures to mitigate or avoid an obvious conflict, such as the adoption of measures to ensure as equal competition as possible, such as in the interests of postal service and suppliers.
