Depends on the size of the tender and the company, a lot of companies look at a tender as a way meeting all or most their overheads. Other work is then where profit is made.

In my experience of tendering that is exactly what is/I’ve done, large projects cover the overheads and keep the kit and lads busy. Smaller projects outside of the large make up the profit margins, it’s almost every large business model hence the reason costs plummet on large tenders as it’s no secret! The big boys can’t have 20ts, whole tree chippers, 20+ guys etc sitting in the yard waiting for profitable work.
