Breaking a "no-compete" provision of a contract will subject the person breaking it to a lawsuit for damages under both a breach of contract action and the tort of interference with business opportunity action. Those damages would be reimbursement to the other party for all income it lost because of the violation of the no compete clause. Many no-compete contract provisions will also state other types of damages that could be recovered, such as forfeiting all income earned and paying attorneys' fees. There might also be punitive damages. Punitive damages are not a usual remedy for breach of contract cases, but they are a remedy for intentional torts as interference with a business opportunity most likely is.

Bid rigging is a form of collusion where competing parties agree in advance on who will win a bid, undermining fair competition. For example, in a construction project, several contractors might coordinate to submit artificially high bids while one contractor submits a lower bid, which they agreed upon beforehand. This allows the selected contractor to win the contract while ensuring the other bidders do not compete fairly. Such practices are illegal and can lead to significant penalties for those involved.
The time limit depends on what has been agreed to in the non compete contract. You are best to seek legal advice from your local lawyer to see if you have any claim.
