Tactics

When this buyer has awarded in this sector, usually 41 or more bids came in. Many compete here — price and references decide. (Based on 962 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 621 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 20,496 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.
