As a former director of a state university purchasing dept.. I can say that competative bidding is effective. But there are times when the lowest bid may not be the best route. Every bid request form we used had a statement that we reserved the right to reject any and all bids. If I rejected a bid, I had better have a good reason for a rejection and have strong backup for my decision. If you want to keep the auditors, media, and politicians off your back a good reason for the rejection had better be well reasoned and recorded. I remember not going with the lowest bidder on buying video production tape (for the TV station). The guys at the station had actual demonstrations of what was called dropout(black spots on the tv screen)from the two lowest bidders. The bids were from three of the largest manulfacturers of this kind of tape. This was a case where we went with the highest bidder. Another time I was requested to purchase a case of Trogen condoms. No other brand would be approved. Now that is another story. And the users didn't invite me to the party!
