Worldwide,
It is supposed to be that way. In theory competitive bidding means you state a price you will do the work for. All others do the same. The client selects the bid.
There are more ways to evaluate a bid besides price.............work quality / reputation....ability....completion time........similar successful contracts.......it goes on.
Some purchasing agents reject the very lowest and the very highest bids. Some divide contracts into sections so if one contractor falls behind or fails in any way there are others available to keep things on schedule.
Things get confusing when everyone is a contractor......they are treated like employees for purposes of price control and scheduling but not paid for the tax and insurance costs that should be part of their bid.
This should not be new news,
Joe
