The client had grounds to suspect internal collusion: procurement was being conducted on unfavourable terms, and certain suppliers consistently "won" without any clear reason.
Such collusion is doubly dangerous — it causes direct damage and, if handled carelessly, threatens labour disputes and public exposure.
"The best outcome of a corporate conflict is the one no one on the outside ever finds out about."
The collusion was eliminated, and the business continued operating with no legal consequences or reputational losses.
The client regained control over procurement and received recommendations on how to guard against similar schemes in the future.
