Looking at the circumstances here, Ptabhat in my opinion should go with reporting the offer to the higher authorities involving them in the decision making process. It may delay the tender process but Prabhat's risk of losing his job is lower as the company is aware of his efforts.
Ignoring the offer completely may cause Prabhat to regret if he faces consequences in absence of delivering the results or even in case the company comes to know of the offer afterwars like from Subhash directly in future.

At the end I would express my gratitude for this amazing case study and the amazing way of presentation :-)
