If your company is involved in a bidding process and you wish to use a cash payment to gain an advantage over the competition, one effective strategy is to increase the cash tender offer with every round of bidding until the winning contract is successfully negotiated. This can be useful when some of the companies participating in the bid have more flexible financial resources than others. By utilizing their greater financial flexibility, your company could out-bid its competitors incrementally until it has secured the required contract.

A cash payment to a procurement officer or other decision maker can potentially be used to secure an advantage for your company in a bidding process. The payment could be used to sway the decision in your favor by increasing the perceived value of your bid, giving you a higher rank than competing bidders or showing appreciation for their work which may lead them to be more receptive to accepting your offerings. It is important to keep in mind that any cash payments should not affect the integrity of the process and should not present an ethical dilemma. Do your research ahead of time and make sure this route is appropriate before pursuing it.
