Bid Guarantee

A bid guarantee ensures that the party inviting to a tender (the importer) receives an agreed compensation if a tenderer (the exporter) defaults on their obligations under an international tender. Often, a tender will not even be considered without a bid guarantee.

Below are two common examples of a bid guarantee.

To apply for a bid guarantee, please find an electronic application in District to be completed and submitted.
  • Bid Guarantee - on demand

    At the request of (name and address of applicant), we hereby guarantee you irrevocably for the above maximum amount to secure that they fulfil their obligations as tenderer in accordance with their bid covering (description of goods/project).

    Your claim(s), if any, duly made and presented to us under the guarantee, will be honoured on your first demand also stating that (name of applicant) have not fulfilled their above tender obligations towards you.
