In 82% of general awarded contracts:



well to be fair. not everything is fair market value. It does say in the RFQ, RFI that "cheapest doesn't always win".
I've been thru a process with just City of Burnaby, and it was a server that was 1.68 Million+ The process took 6 months.
Was it above value? can't tell but we surely weren't the only person bidding.
Actual delivery.. well a server is there on site so it can be verified.

Even if it was SAP HANA let's say with Ops and Testing virtual blah blah blah... maybe you can't show it's delivered.

I do have to say that there were 10+ people vetting the process and 15+ people installing etc. There was at no time someone who came and say.."just go with ______" Oh yes, it's fair.
