PARTICIPATION IN BID PREPARATION; LIMITATION ON SUBMITTING BID FOR SAME
PROCUREMENT (§ 2.2-4373)

No person who, for compensation, prepares an invitation to bid or request for
proposal for or on behalf of a public body shall (i) submit a bid or proposal
for that procurement or any portion thereof or (ii) disclose to any bidder or
offeror information concerning the procurement that is not available to the
public. However, a public body may permit such person to submit a bid or
proposal for that procurement or any portion thereof if the public body
determines that the exclusion of the person would limit the number of potential
qualified bidders or offerors in a manner contrary to the best interests of the
public body.
