Collusion. Collusion is a non-competitive secret or sometimes illegal agreement between rival bidders that attempts to disrupt the contract process equilibrium. Collusion involves people or companies that would typically compete, but are conspiring or working together in which the outcome results in an unfair bid advantage. The parties may collectively choose to agree to increase or decrease its product base price in one or more zones to maximize awards thus denying the public a fair price. Examples of Bid Collusion: • Cover bidding: a competitor agrees to submit a non-competitive bid that is too high to be accepted or contains terms that are unacceptable to the buyer. • Bid suppression or withdrawal: a competitor agrees not to bid or to withdraw a bid from consideration. • Market sharing: a competitor agrees to submit bids only in certain geographic areas or only to certain public organizations. • Bid rotation: competitors agree to take turns at winning business while monitoring their market shares to ensure they all have a predetermined market share. Bidders or vendors who have been found to have engaged in collusion will be considered nonresponsive, and will be suspended or barred from bid participation. Any contract award resulting from collusive bidding may be terminated for default. Further, any collusion that is detected by the FSA may be reported to relevant law enforcement and/or prosecutorial agencies. Bidders may submit multiple bids without conflict of collusion if the bid submitted is not from the same manufacturer and product line. Dealers which share the same ownership may submit multiple bids without conflict of collusion if the bidders are not in the same region featuring the same manufacturer and product line.

Collusion. Collusion happens when two or more clients conspire to artificially decrease the reputation of a provider, and thus decrease the price they have to pay for the service. The reputation side-payments do not make it interesting for one client to submit negative feedback, however, when several clients form a coalition and adopt a negative reporting strategy, the price-cut is cumulative and every agent benefits from the action of the group. The use of trusted reports (as described in Section 4.1) also xxxxxx collusion. When clients are self-interested and external punishments cannot be inflicted on them, we prove that any feedback-reporting coalition is unstable, and hence, irrational.
