In this case, there may be an ethical dilemma, so it is necessary to analyze where the information collected by your co-worker arose.

It would be important to analyze whether he got this information through an open registration and after bids have been opened or the information was compiled illegally.

In case the information is obtained in a legal way, it would be important for the company to study the data of Evil enterprises in order to understand its bidding strategy and outline a strategy so that its company also remains competitive in the market.
