The answer

If you participated in the tender process as a task assigned to you by your company, then your company is entitled to a known commission; otherwise, it is entitled to a commission of the like. You are not permitted to take a special commission without the company's permission; otherwise, it is a bribe. However, if you participated without your company's knowledge, exploiting its name, then you must repent and compensate the company for exploiting its name. You are entitled to the agreed-upon commission in return for your effort; otherwise, you are entitled to a commission of the like.
