MAJOR Home Office contractor Mitie is under investigation by the competition watchdog over “suspected anti-competitive conduct” in relation to immigration detention contracts. 

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said today that it was probing the Mitie Group, Mitie Care and Custody and PAE Incorporated entities.

The probe, opened on Tuesday, is looking at whether there was a breach of competition law in the procurement process for two immigration removal centre contracts run by the Home Office.
