A friend of mine has bid on some work for me as I am an associate of hers. It's her 1st time bidding.
She bid at £80 an hour which is competitive for the industry. The client came back saying someone else bid at £60 did we want to reconsider our bid. So then she bid £72. Then the client said the other bidder is desperate and has dropped their price to £53 per hour. This is for 6 weeks work and our industry has been really struggling for 2 years now and people are desperate for work.
Is the client taking the pi55? I told my friend final bid and walk away price £62.
Below this the cost of childcare (easter hols) and travel make it marginal. That said I need the cash...
Is the client leading us on? Why would the lowest bidder lower their price?
