Has anyone heard the expression 'You get what you pay for'? With a few exceptions, all of Britannia's aircraft that have been farmed out, and this goes back from 737 days to date, have come back in worse condition than they went out. Lowest quote maintenance has and never will be cost effective. If you go for the lowest quote you must leave something in the pot just in case you need to fix things left undone. So in reallity you can afford to have a better job done in the first place! I firmly believe that aircraft maintenance shouldn't be treated as a service industry. In the end it will lead to a compromise in safety as items will get ignored, being deemed as too expencive by airline accountants who have very little insight into the real world of aviation maintenance.
