Bid Bond

Demonstrate commitment when participating in tenders with a digital bid bond.

What is a Bid Bond?

A bid bond is a type of surety bond that provides assurance to the project owner (obligee) that a contractor (principal) will honor their bid if selected. It ensures that the contractor has submitted a serious bid and is committed to entering into the contract at the bid price. If the contractor withdraws after winning the tender, the surety may compensate the obligee for the difference between the withdrawn bid and the next lowest bid.

When is it required?

Bid bonds are typically required when participating in public or private tenders. Government departments, public sector undertakings, and large project owners often require contractors to submit a bid bond along with their tender response to ensure only serious bidders participate in the process.
