Why bid discipline matters
Winning the Tender Is Not Enough if the Contract Loses Money.
A low bid can win a contract and still create a commercial problem if mobilisation, overhead, finance cost, delay risk or post-award price pressure were not properly priced.
The calculator keeps direct cost, overhead, contingency and profit visible as separate layers so management can see what is being sacrificed when the final price is reduced.
