Tactics

When contracts were awarded in this country and sector, usually about 4 bids came in. A normal field for this market. (Based on 363 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 34 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 29 (median of 559 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.
