Bidding documents (English: Bidding Documents) are documents prepared by the tenderer or the commissioned design unit and provided to the bidder to clarify the project requirements. It contains technical requirements, quality standards, construction schedule, quotation requirements, qualification requirements, etc., which play a role in regulating bidding behavior and have legal effect.

　　In the bidding process, especially for foreign trade projects, it is usually necessary to submit bilingual or multilingual bids, so bid translation is particularly important. The content of the bid covers a wide range, such as corporate qualifications, quotation details, project cases, etc., ranging from dozens of pages to hundreds of pages, or even thousands of pages. Translators need to have patience and professional knowledge to handle large amounts of data and terminology. Once errors occur in the translation, huge losses may occur.

　　4. Confidentiality agreement: Bidding documents usually involve confidential information, so it is necessary to confirm that the translation company or personnel can ensure the confidentiality of the documents.
