' |7 j0 I* n; P合同文件中，tender和bid经常混用，但是中文中经常区分"招标"和“投标”，如果一律用bid或tender，不容易区分。

Tender – The term “tender” is often used interchangeably to the term bid.  However, “Bid” is increasingly being used by the Offerer (the supply side) and the term “tender” used on the procurement side (the buyer).

但是，下面这段描述，如果没有client，会让人看的越来越糊涂：
The terms ‘bidding’ and ‘tendering’ are often used interchangeably. A bid is a specific offer made to
a potential client with the intention that they accept that bid and agree a contract based around it. A

it is vital that the client’s process are followed as non-compliance can jeopardise a bid if perceived by

总之，现在的趋势是，tender倾向为招标，bid倾向为投标。

其实这问题现在没那么复杂了
国内采用的招投标一般都是参照国外来的，过去主要是三套体系，机电部、世行、FIDIC。
FIDIC与世行区别稍微大一点。
（不知道机电部那个标准在哪儿抄来的，怀疑也是来自FIDIC）
' x' Q( a' N! Y) P) p# E* X8 g1 d以前有种说法，招标采用tender，投标采用bid

现在大部分招投标项目都套用世行的范本。
