Bid rigging occurs when government officials preparing the contract, perhaps in conspiracy with a local or foreign company, ensure through a device or scheme that the contract is ultimately awarded to the designated bidder. This generally occurs when government officials secretly, or not so secretly, decide who will win the bid. |
Though rigging may occur solely to favor one contractor, most bids are rigged in favor of a certain contractor in return for a kickback.
