To win a tender, you need to enter the auction, become a participant, then select a suitable order and try to conclude a deal. To do this, you must fulfill all the conditions of the customer at the stage of selection of applicants. For most orders, only the offered price is the criterion for selecting the winner. But first, what you need to know to become a bidder.
