Start by mentioning the facts of the case and the stakeholders. Then come to each part.
Ethical dilemmas mentioned are fine, legal vs ethical can also be mentioned, as legally the company hasn’t violated any rule but ethically unfair.
Demarcate the 2nd part, you have written well.
3rd part is also fine, however I think in final conclusion you can mention talking to the senior first and taking him onboard with the idea of bidding, if he doesn’t agree then issue can be taken with higher-ups and at the same time contracts can be awarded through bidding process.
Keep practicing. 🙂

First of all mention the facts of the case and the stakeholders involved (you, your senior, his nephew, other bidders, shareholders, customers etc)
In part a, you have mentioned good points, in last points instead of mentioning violation of laws you can write legal vs ethical dilemma, as the company has not explicitly violated any rule but it is ethically unfair.
3rd part is also decently written, although in demerits of 1st point you can mention some foundational values you will be overlooking.
In final conclusion you can mention talking to the senior first and taking him onboard with the idea of bidding, if he doesn’t agree then issue can be taken with higher-ups and at the same time contracts can be awarded through bidding process.
Keep practicing. 🙂
