Why cant an offeror revoke an offer for a unilateral contract once an offeree has begun performance?

It became prima facie that the offer and terms were acceptable to the offeree and this was signified by the offeree's beginning the specified work. Although no actual signed contract may exist, the offer of an actual drawn up document (whether signed or not) as opposed to simply a verbal offer, will be looked at very closely by the court in determining the good faith of the offeror.

Define unilateral contract?
A contract in which only one party makes an express promise, or undertakes a performance without first securing a reciprocal agreement from the other party. In a unilateral, or one-sided, contract, one party, known as the offeror, makes a promise in exchange for an act (or abstention from acting) by another party, known as the offeree. If the offeree acts on the offeror's promise, the offeror is legally obligated to fulfill the contract, but an offeree cannot be forced to act (or not act), because no return promise has been made to the offeror. After an offeree has performed, only one enforceable promise exists, that of the offeror. A unilateral contract differs from a Bilateral Contract, in which the parties exchange mutual promises. Bilateral contracts are commonly used in business transactions; a sale of goods is a type of bilateral contract. Reward offers are usually unilateral contracts. The offeror (the party offering the reward) cannot impel anyone to fulfill the reward offer. An offeree can sue for breach of contract, however, if the offeror does not provide the reward after the offeree has fulfilled the contract's requirements
What is the difference between rejection and revocation?
Rejection is the rejection of an offer by the offeree. After an offeror has made an offer it can be rejected by the offeree. Revocation is the revoking of an offer by the offeror. An offeror may also revoke his offer at any time before acceptance by the offeree unless an option contract is created or is otherwise precluded from revoking the offer.

What is the difference between unilateral and multilateral contracts?
When the party to whom an engagement is made, makes no express agreement on his part, the contract is called uni-lateral, even in cases where the law attaches certain obligations to his acceptance. A loan of money, and a loan for use, are of this kind.
What can an offer be terminated by?
Well first, "in a Unilateral contract the offer cannot be revoked if the offeree has begun or has substantially completed performance. (Cheeseman 2010)" however In my opinion he just made the bid and after the offeree accepted them is created a contract so they have not yet sign any type of contract. anyway according to the law if the offer is one that leads to a unilateral contract, then unless there was an ancillary contract entered into that guaranteed that the main contract would not be withdrawn, the contract may be revoked at any time. Also, "An offeror may revoke an offer before it has been accepted, but the revocation must be communicated to the offeree, although not necessarily by the offeror: (Dickinson v. Dodds 1876)" but again if they had encapsulated in a option of the contract, revoked the offer would be not possible. In his case the first thing he have to do is to call the offeree and explain him the situation, also (even this would depend of the consciousness of the person and his values and moral) the offeree would notice since he saw the bid something is wrong because when before send him the bid he would know what was the offer made to him "No contract is created if the offer is not accepted. (Cheeseman 2010)" "An offer may be terminated at any time before it is accepted. However, once an offer is accepted it becomes irrevocable. (Goldsbrough Mort & Co Ltd v Quinn)"
What is the effect of death or insanity of the offeror?
Death or insanity of the offeror automatically terminates the offer. This applies even though the offeree is not aware of the death or the insanity of the offeror and communicates an acceptance of the offer. Both parties must be alive and competent to contract at the moment the acceptance is properly communicated to the offeror.
Parties to a contract must be competent to contract?
An acceptance is a response to the offeree that indicated that they approve of the terms of the offer. Once an offer is accepted, a legally binding contract is created. An acceptance must be intentionally made. The offeree must communicate to the offeror that they agree with the terms of the proposed contract. Both parties must be mentally competent for a contract to be legally binding. The contract also cannot contain anything unlawful; otherwise it is also not considered a valid contract. The communication of the acceptance of an offer can be bilateral or unilateral. http://sincerlysamski.blogspot.com/2011/09/writing-valid-contracts.html
