I have seen the term "tenderpreneur" applied to those who become enriched through favourable access to government contracts, as in...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenderpreneur

  ... a tenderpreneur is a person in government who abuses their
  political power and influence to secure government tenders and
  contracts. The word tenderpreneur is a portmanteau of "tendering"
  and "entrepreneur".
Could the meaning be applied here too?
