Bidding works better than no competition at all, but bidding has it's faults as well.
I don't have a national example, but locally, my city council just rejected the latest bid to build the new 'parks and services' complex. Why? The bid was
too low. Word is their leaning towards the company that built the last 'parks and services' complex. The same complex the new one is supposed to replace because the old one is 'inadequate.'
I'm sure there's a joke about the status quo there, but I'm too lazy to find it.
