bjudande

Bjudande is a Swedish noun formed from the verb bjuda, meaning to bid or offer. It refers to an offer or bid made in response to an invitation to purchase, participate in a sale, or enter a tender process. The term can denote either the bid itself (the amount offered) or, in some contexts, the bidder who submits the offer. It is commonly used in auctions and in procurement or tendering procedures.

In auctions and real estate sales, a bid represents the price a participant offers. The bid amount is often described as the bjudande, and the person who submitted it can be described as the bjudande or simply the bidder. In tendering and procurement, bjudande is used to refer to the bid submission or the entity submitting the bid; formal tenders more typically use the term anbud and anbudsgivare.

Legal aspects of bjudande vary by context. A bid may be binding only upon acceptance by the seller or upon contract formation, depending on the terms of the sale and applicable law. Competition among bids, reserve prices, bidding rules, and specific contractual conditions influence the outcome of a sale or award.

Language notes: Bjudande is common in Swedish commerce and law and is closely related to bud (bid) and anbud (offer or tender). The nuance is that bjudande emphasizes the act or the offer, whereas bud emphasizes the price and anbud emphasizes a formal tender.
