So he sends out a tweet to all his baking friends. Batman Batman @therealbatman Calling all bakers: who can make me a cake for my birthday party?
Catwoman can bake a big chocolate cake with strawberries
Batman considers all three options, he thinks about the party and the needs of his guests at the party and decides upon ..
He then sends a contract to Superman agreeing what cake he wants. Superman then bakes the cake for the party. While at the party Batman asks his guests to comment on his cake was it the right cake for them, did it meet their dietary requirements; was it everything they thought the cake should be?
COMMISSIONING IS LIKE A CAKE Batman it s the council/ and you Instead of a cake it s the commission Instead of a tweet it s the call to tender Instead of Batman considering what cake he wants that s what you will be doing reading the recipe s (aka the bids) and deciding what you think is best Instead of the contract for the cake being made you will be helping award the contact to the tenders Instead of sampling the cake it s the evaluation process that happens once the commissioned providers are in and doing their roles
