deadline for bid acceptance Explanation: A "bid acceptance period" runs from when the contractor's proposal is received to the deadline for the entity seeking proposals to accept the proposal. See the example sentence from the reference. (You might rephrase it as "expiration of bid acceptance period" as well.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2009-02-04 15:11:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The whole example sentence should read, "SICA asked that Owners shorten the bid acceptance period to 30 days on all projects that are being tendered, as Contractors are not able to hold prices for extended lengths of time due to pricing fluctuations." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2009-02-04 15:14:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think "expiration of bid acceptance period" is better than "deadline for bid acceptance." The latter term may be confused with the deadline for submitting proposals. Example sentence(s):
