Procurement glossary

Abnormally low bid

A bid priced so far below others (or the estimate) that the buyer questions whether it is deliverable.

In depth

Procurement rules often require buyers to investigate abnormally low bids before award, to avoid failed delivery. Bidders may be asked to justify their pricing.
