Maju Jaya advertises in a local daily calling suitable contractors to submit tenders for the development of an IT project. The advertisement stipulates that the lowest tender will succeed. Contractor Murah submits the lowest price at RM10 million and Contractor Mahal tender comes second lowest at RM11 million. However, Maju Jaya thinks that Contractor Mahal is in a better position to carry out the work than Contractor Murah.

Maju Jaya then invites Contractor Mahal to consider reducing his tender to RM9.5 million. Contractor Mahal rejects the invitation. Maju Jaya then offers the work to Contractor Murah. He however rejects the offer arguing that his offer comes to an end when Maju Jaya offers the work to Contractor Mahal.

3) Is there any contract exist between Maju Jaya and Contractor Murah?(2.5 Marks)
