Estimating & Bidding

Responsive Bidder

In Plain English

A bidder who submitted their bid correctly and included everything that was required.

Definition

A responsive bidder is one whose bid conforms in all material respects to the requirements of the invitation to bid, including proper execution of the bid form, submission of required documents, and acknowledgment of all addenda. A bid that is not responsive may be rejected without consideration of price. Responsiveness is evaluated separately from the bidder's qualifications.
