Tender usually refers to the process whereby governments invite offers for plenty of projects that must be submitted
within a finite deadline. Tendering is the process of providing an offer, bid or proposal, or expressing interest in response to an

defects in a cost-effective manner. The outcome of such a prediction can help to assess which supplier is likely to offer the best
value for a specific project.
