Commercial Auction Moving? -

my dad is into the moving business and he told me that a friend told him that there is this thing where big companies list their their things that they need to move and then they put it on some kind of an auction and the guy with the cheapest price wins is this true? i asked him if he ever saw such a thing he said no i then asked if his friend saw something like that he said no but he said his friend heard it somewhere(i think this is stupid and he has no proof what so ever) if it is true can u post me the link for the web or tell me where i can find it, cause when i look in good nothing comes up

It is the same theory used in government bidding for jobs. When the state needs a new bridge built or other items made, they announce the job, the legal requirements for the bidders, and the deadline to submit a bid. The bids are received sealed and are not opened until the deadline has past. The lowest bid wins the contract.Now, I have no specifics for the case you described; but it is a common way for companies to receive bids on work to be done.
