Yeah I agree... but if you have 100m to hand out and the in org politics where you can’t tell a vendor to go pound it, there are real structural issues in your co preventing you delivering systems.
Fixed price deliverables are usually more expensive due to bidders pricing risk. Or you see big delays due to PCR requirements. Or the project owner don’t have the political power to not accept a deliverable and tell the vendor to go pound it.
