Games People Play in Development Sector-07

How a development administrator can deprive the most deserved development agency from assigning the consulting job. In a Development Department the three agencies were short listed for the assignment. They were called for presentation before the committee of junior persons who have very poor knowledge of the subject. The Financial Bids for the assignment were already opened. Only two agencies joined the presentation. The Chairman asked which of the two is L1 (Lowest bidder). The coordinator replied (named) IIDM but quipped promptly that other party is ready to carry out the assignment in same price. It was decided that L1 will be given the assignment. But later on the assignment was given to L2 with out even informing the L1. The L1 comes to know from a news item, that the assignment is completed by L2. What games were played by this development department, only God & the coordinator can tell.
