Why do you think corruption is a domain found in lower administrative institutions? Modern states have the opposite problem because just as companies prefer a lower number of suppliers, they also prefer having to influence fewer officials. Corporate influence on subsidiary institutions isn't feasible. Happens too, but the damage is restricted. In the EU this is a massive problem. For some countries the situation is better, but you provide a far larger attack surface for special interest with huge capital.
