Tendering is a process where you invite people to tell you how much to do a piece of work , and usually the lowest bit wins – all else being equal.
If you don’t invite bids then there’s no real proof that the price being paid is about correct (could it have been done cheaper? – which is important if its public money)
Also, 20% of the price paid might be back handers to city officials to make sure the price is accepted – if no one is checking, no one knows (which is where the scandal comes in)
