Etymology

The term 'tender' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old French 'tendre', which means 'to stretch, extend, or offer'. This word itself descends from the Latin 'tendere', meaning 'to stretch' or 'to extend'. Initially, it was often used in contexts relating to physical stretching, but over time, it evolved to encompass the concept of offering or submitting something formally. By the late 14th century, in legal and financial contexts, 'tender' began to be used to indicate a formal offer, especially involving bids for contracts. The verb 'tendered' subsequently emerged, signifying the act of making such offers. The use of tendering processes has expanded into various fields, including construction, transportation, and finance, highlighting the importance of formal proposals in business transactions.
