I used to “buy things”, for 9 and 10 figure contracts. It’s very unprofessional that the buying company is treating you like that but, as you say, it’s the nature of the game. My brother was in sales and used to tell me similar stories so I, on the other side of the fence, always made a point of having a full debrief with the losing bidders within a day or two of awarding the contract. I never ghosted anyone, that is just bad manners and a lack of respect for the amount of effort put in by the bidders. And..you never know when you might need that company again or where one of the sales team might pop up next. Bad behaviour and not something you, or anyone, needs. Go give big orange a cuddle.
