What is another word for two-tier bid?
Pronunciation: [tˈuːtˈi͡ə bˈɪd] (IPA) 
A "two-tier bid" can also be referred to as a "dual-stage bid", "two-step bid", or "two-layered bid". These synonyms refer to a bidding process that includes two levels or steps. In the first tier, interested parties submit their bids or proposals to become qualified to proceed to the second tier. The second tier typically involves a more detailed and comprehensive bidding process, where only qualified parties from the first tier are allowed to compete. Another synonym for this process is a "pre-qualification stage," where companies or individuals are vetted before being invited to participate in the full bidding process. These terms are commonly used in procurement, construction, and government contracts.
