Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) participating in public tenders can now get real-time unsecured bid bonds of up to Sh10 million via a web-based platform launched by HF Group. The listed lender has said the online-based solution dubbed HF Whizz Bid Bonds will ease applications for the bid bonds, increasing SMEs’ chances of winning tenders.
A bid bond is issued by the supplier or service provider to the project owner as a guarantee that they will undertake the contract once awarded. It is part of the documentation required when one is submitting a bid. HF will guarantee the project owner or contracting authority that in the event the bidder wins the tender, they will meet the requirements.
