Yes, much like buying a car now, you look at what is available and choose.There are a small number of exceptions for Imperial Airways, although in these cases the spec. was written around a particular aircraft without competitive tender. Short Calcutta and Mayo Composite come to mind. There are a few others where it looks as if a small degree of competition may have arisen, the Short Kent seems to have had a competing design from Supermarine fielded against it. But that may be complete conjecture by me. First 'competitive' specs. were probably 14/38 and 15/38 for the Fairey FC1 and Short SC2
