How to politely reject a contractor?

[Michael Stole]

He came on site to give me a quote the other day, which is much higher than others'. He called and texted me several times asking whether I would accepted his quote today. I don't want to give him any hard feeling, so want to know how you would reply to reject a contractor's bid?

Thank-you for your interest. We have elected to proceed with another bid.
