UKNM: Wasting time on tenders

[Chris Dickens]

We've recently tendered for a project being offered by a major

appliances manufacturer. Having discovered that we hadn't been

successful I called the contact to ask why. After some fairly

un-convincing guff he revealed that the contract had already been

awarded - get this -  before the purchasing department had released the

tender.


A total waste of time (not billable!) and effort. The company is now on

our black-list.


Does anyone else have any similar experiences? Perhaps we could exchange

notes.
