When participating in a bidding process, it is often required for companies to provide a Bid Bond or Tender Guarantee. This document acts as a financial security for the project owner, assuring them that the bidding company has the necessary financial resources and commitment to execute the project if awarded. In this article, we present a sample Bid Bond in English for reference.
