Is it permissible to take money in exchange for withdrawing from a government tender for selling goods, after agreeing with the competitors to lower the price and then divide the profits?

It is permissible for one competitor to pay the other financial compensation in exchange for the latter withdrawing from the competition. Some jurists view this as a form of waiving a right for compensation, and it has parallels such as waiving positions for money, a woman selling her turn to her co-wife or husband, and as an analogy to what Ibn Rushd and Ibn Abdus mentioned regarding the permissibility of taking money in exchange for refraining from bargaining over an item.
