I wonder if H could just declare the friendship and still participate? It seems like that might be an option, but I'm not confident about the implications.

This reminds me of a practice question where a manager had to deal with a similar conflict. I think the best option is to declare the interest and withdraw from the assessment.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think allowing KK Ltd to bid while excluding T might still raise questions. It feels like a gray area.

I remember discussing conflicts of interest in class, and this situation seems pretty clear-cut. H should probably declare an interest and step back from the process.

I think option B is the way to go. H can't be involved in this decision-making process, it's just too much of a conflict of interest. Withdrawing is the ethical thing to do.
