What are Bid Securities?
A Bid Security, also known as a Tender Security or Bid Bond, is a financial guarantee provided by a bank or insurance company to a tendering institution on behalf of a bidder. This guarantee demonstrates that the bidder has the financial capability and serious intention to undertake the tendered project if selected.
At Blackbow Consult, we facilitate the issuance of bid securities that protect both the project owner and the bidder. For project owners, it ensures that only serious and capable bidders participate in the tender process. For bidders, it demonstrates credibility and financial backing.
Our bid securities are typically issued for 2-5% of the tender value and remain valid throughout the tender evaluation period, giving you the competitive edge needed to secure valuable contracts.
