Such laws and regulations governing the tendering process are intended to serve two interests:

1. A specific interest of the company owning the project, by fostering competition in quality, cost, and execution time.

2. A general interest, by creating job opportunities for competing companies.

Fictitious tenders harm the company owning the project, depriving it of the opportunity to find better offers. They also involve lying, Najsh (fraudulent bidding), deception of the approving committee, and clear misleading of it.

The institution concerned with the project must adhere to such administrative laws and regulations governing the work.
