{wiki=Bid_rigging}
Bid rigging is a form of fraud and anti-competitive behavior in which two or more parties conspire to manipulate the bidding process for contracts, typically in procurement or auctions. Instead of competing freely to win the contract, the colluding parties agree on who will win and at what price, often resulting in artificially inflated costs and reduced competition.
