A bid submitted in a sealed envelope that no one can see until all bids are opened at the same time.
A sealed bid is a bid submitted in a sealed envelope or secure electronic format that is not opened until the official bid opening, ensuring all bidders compete without knowledge of competitors' prices. Sealed bidding is required on most public construction projects to ensure fairness and transparency. Bids submitted after the deadline or in unsealed form may be rejected.
