But isn't A) Seller rating system also valid? Ratings matter too.

I could be wrong, but I feel like a weighting system involves criteria for scoring bids, which doesn't seem to fit this scenario.

This sounds familiar; I practiced a question like this where the focus was on comparing bids against a baseline, which makes me lean towards independent estimate.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about seller rating systems being used for ongoing evaluations, not just for initial bids.

I think this might be related to an independent estimate since you're creating your own cost baseline before evaluating bids.
