The mythical RAO unit may see it that way. Alternatively they may feel a tad uncomfortable bidding for a year long ptoject against a non RAO organisation who decides to fork out ?100 for an ad in the Guardian and so undercut the mythical RAO by ?27,000. And that's before factoring the increased costs due to employer's contributions, projects budgeted before the mandatory increase ( so the increased costs can't be passed onto the clients) and having to cover costs before the money for the project comes in on completion of project.
