▪ Bid rotation: Bid rotation is a form of market allocation that occurs when bidding
companies take turns being the winning bidder.
▪ Bid suppression: Bid suppression occurs when one (or more) bidder(s) sits out of the
bidding so that another party is guaranteed to win a bidding process.
▪ Complementary bidding: Complementary bidding occurs when companies
intentionally submit uncompetitive bids as a way of guaranteeing that their bid is not
selected and helping to ensure that another preselected bidder is chosen. This is also
called courtesy bidding or cover bidding.
▪ Phantom bidding: Phantom bidding is employed in auctions as a way of compelling
legitimate bidders to bid higher than they normally would.
