I've checked thesaurus.com, and dictionary.com

I'm looking for a better word than tenderer in view of those making or recievng a tender

tenderor vs tenderee

Are there such words?

I think it depends on whether you are the person tendering, or the person inviting tenders.

Either way, where I work, the person tendering tends to be called the "bidder" (or tenderer of course.)

From the bidder's point of view, the organisation inviting tenders would be "the customer". From the other p.o.v, I'm not so sure. Perhaps the organisation would refer to itself as "the company" or just use its own name.

Thanks guys,

"tenderer" just looked like an Elvis lyric, and whilst He's everywhere, I didn't think His lyrics should be in a tender doc ;-)

Mufasa,

Wouldn't you say...

"I like my meat more tender than most other people like their meat."

"I treat my wife more tender than I do any other wife I treat." ;-)

I was taught that with words of 2 syllables or more, you use more instead of the er ending.

One who tenders may just be a bidder

A couple of months ago I had to act as the Bidding Champion for one of the firms bidding for a multi-million pound contract with my organisation and those tendering were referred to as Bidders so it looks like Bidder is a
preferred modern day option.

Being a Bidding Champion was an odd experience where one had to try to get the Bidder to improve their offer and to make the Due Diligence phase easier to get through.

Many years ago when I worked in Contracts the idea of discussing the Tenderer's offer during the Tender evaluation stage would have got you locked up for very dodgy practice if not fraud!

Actually, you would say:

"I treat my wife more tender[red]ly[/red] than I do any other."

Folks,

The necked truth is it's a toss up:

[blue]Payee[/blue]: One who gets paid.

[blue]Paisley[/blue]: One who gets paid while wearing a tie.

Bob, yeah, that's it, Bob.

By "it's a toss up" I assume you meant "it's a tie"?

Another CLASSIC example of how easy these kinds of slips are. This looked perfectly normal (it's a common phrase in the UK) until you pointed it out. Absolutely Hillarious!!

Thanks, guys.
