I agree with Dino............saw first hand a tender from us that we couldn't get any lower (bearing in mind the need for a site cabin, travel expenses etc.) stolen by a certain local unit that was in partnership with the client (a district council) in doing a yearly 'community' research dig/ university training dig in the same area. Guess you can do a commercial dig really cheap if students pay you to do the work!
This is all supposition though as when we queried why we didn't get the job the answer was (as always) our tender was too high...........!
