T-bills are offered on a competitive basis?

Yes it is, lets say if the Government is offering one billion dollars:

 

Let say that the Bank A (bid for 500,000) you still have 500,000 remaining

so they go to bank B the next competitive bid

Let say that the Bank B (bid for 250,000) you would still have 250,000 remaining

Let say bank C also have bids (for 250,000) now that One Billiion would now be allocated for.

 

The Bank of Guyana will now accept the most competitive bids, if there are more money remaining they will go to the next competitive bid

 

Any yet if more money remains, they will go to the next bids.

So you will have different people paying different prices for the same $1B offer?  It's not like they offer $1B take bids and then settle on one price for all offers?
