but your price can be disclose to the other agency whereby the ‘head’ has favour with. The other agency will then meet your price or give additional package.


in the process of disclosing your price, the other agency will take out their ‘women’ weapon to tackle this ‘ti ko pek’ to close the deal. pushing your company aside.

Our media really good... Can really sensationalize the news with all those details... sidetrack from the bribery case liao... :faint:

Personally I have also worked for companies who bid through GEBIZ. I don’t find it a very transparent system. The organizations that want us usually get us every year, its like they do not bother to look through all the applicants, they choose us as it is convenient, they have worked with us, know us and so keep going to us.


In that way, there are some companies that are also perpetually closed to us. They will either get the cheapest vendor or keep going for the same one.

But there are a few good companies who will require for a presentation, those to me are the most professional. But even such companies can become biased like when the person choosing is unprofessional like this case sighhh

Actually whether Geylang or some other places, they are the same, no ?

whether high class or Geylang prostitutes - all are the same
because they provide the same kind of service !

Even the most robust system has loop holes… just look at the infamous SLA case.


Are we really as WHITE as what we proclaimed to the world?
Hmm…

The tender bidding process is transparent. The decision making process is not all that transparent. Every bid is accompanied by a proposal. These proposals are where one can try to gain some advantage over other bids even those lower priced ones. And during the crafting of these proposals, the salesperson can try to obtain some pertinent information from the decision makers about what they can do to sweeten the deal to improve their chances.


And if I remember correctly, there is also that end of financial year excess budget that these organisations will try to spend, else their budget may get cut the following year. Most salesperson will try to get a piece of that as they are quick sales. No time for tenders, most probably just 3 quotes.

Tender or no, sales is very much a rapport driven activity. And every good salesperson will try to build a good rapport with the key decision makers. In this instant that rapport was taken way too far.

maybe one of the slogan for the companies involved is: we go all way out to please our customers :evil: :evil:

If my quotation is the lowest and meeting their specs, they will need a strong justification not to accept mine but one with a higher quote.

That's my perspective from a vendor. So far those whom I have been dealing with carried themselves well.

Is it because I am a male sales rep? Hahaha....

Oh.. really? you believe?

Heard of so many stories(unverified).. the evaluation team (probably those pple that you deal with?) strongly recommended vendor A based on various factors with STRONG justification.. then.. the dept head (who probably know nuts) say, take vendor B.

the evaluation team, no matter how hard they work in actual is like there for show only..

ONE person's word decide on the outcome.

Ask yourself.. look around you.. did you encounter crappy systems? how about the word BREAKDOWN......................... as it applies to something many pple use everyday. HOW did this system or the vendor gets selected when their offering/product is so crappy..???????

And, what I heard is, vendor B submitted the lowest quote, but their system is crap and eval team recommended vendor A, but their boss choose vendor B and ask the team leader to justify it by hook or by crook, all the while the boss is officially \"not in the picture\". Then, vendor B got the bid.. but somehow, they always over budget and somehow, the budget is always approved.. and end result.. a crap system that overall costs much more then vendor A's original bid.

does it sounds familiar to you.......?
