Three projects associated with different ministries were selected, they are residential almajer Project, public health and Nahrain University project as a sample of the study population, these data represent of priced quantities schedule and time schedule provide by contenders contractors on the contract; then the sample population data were analyzed through the use of a designed simulation software to clear the benefits of using economic analysis for tender bidding.
