Abstract: Notification of Award
of Contract is an exciting time in a
contractor’s organization and is a time for
celebrations. It is the result of
successfully managing the contractor’s
internal management processes of bid
portfolio selection and bid preparation.
This involves very costly and stressful
man-hours of diligent work that is
appreciated by only those few persons
involved in the bid preparation.
