Large companies require fleets. Who says one company can't buy from another? But what if he keeps buying and buying, beyond any reasonable use cases? What if the lots are full of unused trucks? Dunno.
That's what bids are for. It gives at least plausible deniability if shareholders want to question a large contract later.
You can manipulate a bidding process to force the outcome you want, but if you are too obvious about it shareholders can still have a case.
