BEST BID.
Having the maximum marked-up that
could be inserted in a bid.
The mark-up is usually based
on mathematical computation
as well as extra-sensory calculation
focused on winning and gaining.
In conclusion
A BID WINNER
Could release the right bid proposal, at
the right price, at right time and place.
Just like a martial art champion
releasing the right strike at the right
time at the right point.
