We didn’t get the contract!

In today's meeting, we, the NU Consultants, did not get the bid for the Peak District National Park Monitoring plan.

All people in the team have invested a lot in this project. Vicky contributed a lot of brilliant ideas, Jenny and Val worked hard to make the presentation attractive. I read a lot of backgrounds and did a lot of note taking.

But Livia's group got the 'check'. They won because their plan are more practical (though I don't think it is half as innovative as ours). We lost the bid maybe because that we had too little about budget.

Congratulations to Livia and her colleagues. We will try to fight back in the future.

Though it is not real bidding, but I won't say it is "just a simulation" because the winner won't say so, neither do I. Hopefully we will have a analysis of the performance this friday.
