(BLANK) is an offer or a price to perform the work of a contract:

• A. Technical Evaluation
• B. Bid
• C. Commercial Evaluation
• D. Award of Contract

Answer: (B)

In procurement, the term that represents an offer or price to perform the work of a contract is a bid. A bid is the price proposal submitted in response to an invitation to bid, detailing the amount the bidder would charge to complete the specified scope of work and often including timelines and terms. This price-focused proposal is what the buyer evaluates alongside other factors. Technical evaluation looks at whether the bidder’s approach, qualifications, and methods meet the project requirements, not just the price. Commercial evaluation examines the financial terms and overall value, but it’s about assessing the offers already made rather than presenting a price itself. Award of contract is the formal act of selecting a bid and entering into a contract based on the evaluations. So the blank is filled by the bid.
