A tender is a submission made by a prospective supplier in response to an invitation to tender.It makes an offer for the supply of goods or services.In construction,the main tender process is generally for the selection of the contractor that will construct the works.However,as procurement routes have become more complex,so tenders may be sought for a wide range of goods and services(for example,on a construction management contract the works are constructed by a number of different trade contractors each contracted to the client)and contractors may take on additional functions such as design and management.
