Bidding for contracts a principal-agent analysis
The bid opening can be a short or long process, depending on how many bids are submitted and the length of the bid proposal form. Each bid is opened one by one and read aloud; this process happens even if vendors do not show up for the bid opening. Principal/Agent Considerations (Gross vs Net) Many transactions involve two or more unrelated parties that participate in providing goods or services to the customer. In some situations, it may not be clear which party has the performance obligation to provide the goods or services to the end consumer. An Agency Agreement, also sometimes called an Agent Agreement, is a document between two parties, a principal, and an agent. The principal is the person who is essentially hiring or engaging the agent (although an employment relationship is usually not created between the two). IE states that Procurement by noncompetitive proposals may be used only when the award of a contract is infeasible under small purchase procedures, sealed bids, or competitive proposals and at least one of the following circumstances applies: A cost analysis, i.e., verifying the proposed cost data, the projections of the data, and the

Bidding for Contracts: Summary Models of the bidding competition for various types of contracts are considered in this thesis. In general, the winning bidder’s contract profit may be a function of the bid tendered, the ex post production cost, and other parameters. The analysis is focused on equilibrium bidding behavior and expected description of bidding procedures, followed by a review of practical and legal pitfalls in bidding and contract negotiation. Preparation Competitive bidding involves sending complete sets of contract documents to two or more contractors who bid against each other. Usually, the lowest bidder is awarded the contract. An agent may act in a way that is contrary to the best interests of the principal. The principal-agent problem is as varied as the possible roles of principal and agent. It can occur in any situation in which the ownership of an asset, or a principal, delegates direct control over that asset to another party, or agent.

The bidding process induces the potential agents to reveal their relative expected costs. The optimal contract trades off giving the chosen agent an incentive to limit costs against stimulating bidding competition and sharing risks. The optimal contract is never cost-plus, may be fixed-price, but is usually an incentive contract.
