It might not lead to savings though. Suppose that the normal contract price is $1,000,000. If you have a bunch of small firms try to build the system, each on only gets the reward with probability p = Prob(they succeed and they get picked out of all the successful firms). A firm would only participate if the reward were greater than $1,000,000/p.
