Case study
An auction participant went to court, believing that there was collusion between the participants at the auction.

The contract was concluded with peru telegram number database a third accomplice in the scheme at the highest possible price. The bona fide participants, confused by the sharp drop in price, were unable to participate in the auction.

Let's sum it up: how a bona fide supplier can protect itself from manipulation and collusion by unscrupulous participants
Carefully study purchasing documentation and analyze product requirements.
If controversial points or violations are found in the procurement documentation that prevent your participation in the procurement, send the customer a request for clarification and a complaint to the FAS.
Ensure that application submission deadlines are met - after these deadlines, complaints and requests for clarification will not be accepted.
When participating in an auction, pay attention to the actions of other participants. If signs of a "battering ram" are detected, do not give up and participate, offering your best price.
Calculate in advance the price below which you cannot fall in the bidding, so as not to accidentally win a contract on unprofitable terms for yourself.
Check the reliability of counterparties in advance through specialized systems.
