tender document
The following is one of the stipulations in a Mexican tender document:
"Es obligación de los Participantes no realizar la práctica monopólica absoluta descrita en el artículo 9o. fracción IV de la Ley Federal de Competencia Económica, la cual consiste en “establecer, concertar o coordinar posturas o la abstención en las licitaciones, concursos o almonedas públicas.""
It's the explanation at the end of the sentence that I'm having trouble with. How can someone be said to be practising absolute monopoly at the same time as "abstención en las licitaciones", or am I reading it incorrectly?
Any light-shedding would be very much appreciated.
TIA
Vicky

[determine, enter into agreements or coordinate positions] or abstentions in tenders...
I believe that the text intends to say that the monopolic practices include not only to manipulate the submissions of bids, but also dictate that some parties should refrain, or abstain, from bidding.
