We walked in and noticed their system that they were currently developing was using technology dating to 1995. Classic City ineptness. "Rajaan" The developer, could never get his database to work right, and kept telling them that the features they wanted were impossible to create.
We were like "here, try this" and they were like "Contract".
Not sure if that counts as a bid.
"We" is who, the bunch of you kids?
Where did you walk into that you were allowed access as an outsider but could view "their system" that was still in development?
What DB features circa 1995 were impossible to do that are now possible?
Who was the city representative that was on-hand near the systems that could award you a contract just like that?
Since when can any government agency award $300,000 to a bunch of unknown youngsters without going through a vetting process and soliciting bids?
