When subcontractor bids arrive, each one is checked against the same list of scope items. Missing scope is flagged, so the general contractor compares like for like.

A low base bid can leave scope out. Sorted by coverage, Bid D covers 8 of 8 scope items and Bid E covers 4. Each gap is flagged so bids compare like for like. The general contractor closes the gaps and chooses the subcontractor.
