Firstly, you might have several tenderers, all of whom put forward staff who meet or exceed the minimum requirements set in the spec - but one tender might propose staff who just barely meet the criteria, while another might put forward a top-notch team.
Secondly, you might know when selecting the tender list that a given unit has some good quality staff - but you don't know until you get the tender in exactly who will be on the team. Is it their best person, or their lame duck, or an individual who does not meet the criteria?
