Collusive Bidding Schemes. Collusive bidding refers to agreements by contractors or suppliers in a particular trade or area to cooperate to defeat the competitive bidding process in order to inflate prices to artificially high levels. It can occur in large and small contracts.
For the surname, see Bidder (surname). Bidding is an offer (often competitive) to set a price by an individual or business for a product or service or a demand that something be done. Bidding is used to determine the cost or value of something. Bidding can be performed by a buyer or supplier of a product or service based on the context of the situation. In the context of auctions, stock exchange, or real estate the price offer a business or individual is willing to pay is called a bid.
