Negotiation with L1 – What’s the need? If tenders are floated on L1 basis, then why negotiate again with the L1 bidder after bidding? Doesn’t this defeat the entire purpose of competitive bidding? Recently, for one of our clients, we quoted for a railway tender and became L1. A negotiation meeting was called where: • Officers were arrogant and refused to hear our explanation of why prices were higher. • We transparently showed our costing, but they weren’t even bothered to consider it. • The only demand: “Give 5% discount because last accepted rates are lower.” One committee member even behaved as if presenting our cost justification was some kind of crime. Finally, the tender was discharged after wasting more than 4 months. Now the tender has been recalled, which means another 4–6 months wasted. By then, price escalation will increase costs further, or maybe some other competitor will bid at suicidal rates. And these railway bureaucrats will be happy by justifying their tender discharge process. This isn’t procurement efficiency. It’s simply a bureaucratic comfort zone — cancel, delay, repeat. Meanwhile, genuine bidders are punished, projects are delayed, and costs only go up. If negotiation after L1 is the norm, then let’s not call it competitive bidding. Call it what it really is: an exercise in futility. Ashwini Vaishnaw Ministry of Railways, Government of India

18 Years in Tendering, Estimation & Costing — and Still this one thought keeps troubling me Why do companies knowingly bid at a loss right from Day One? Mistakes in tendering are understandable — even the best can slip. But deliberate underbidding? That’s strategy turning into self-destruction. There’s an old saying: If Taj Mahal was built by the L-1 (lowest) bidder, it wouldn’t have been the marvel it is today. Of course, being L-1 matters in today’s competitive world. But shouldn’t that L-1 be genuine — backed by careful estimation, precise costing, and realistic assumptions? When someone bids recklessly low — below actual cost — they aren’t just committing commercial suicide. They’re also unfairly pushing out genuine bidders who invested time, skill, and diligence to arrive at the right number. In the long run, such practices destroy trust in the system, cause project delays, quality compromises, and financial stress across the value chain. Is there a solution? Maybe. But the larger question is this: When will we as an industry value sustainability and fairness over mere price tags? Would love to hear thoughts from fellow professionals — how do you see this challenge? What could be a way out?
