A Bidding prayer Old English O. Eng. biddan , to pray , cf. German language Ger. beten is the formula of prayer or exhortation to prayer said during worship in churches of the Anglican Communion . It occurs during the liturgy of the word, prior to the sermon . Such formulae are found in the ancient Greek language Greek Liturgy liturgies , e.g. Divine Liturgy that of St. Chrysostom , in the Gallican liturgy, and in the pre English Reformation Reformation liturgies of England. The form varies, but in all the characteristic feature is that the minister tells the people what to pray for e.g., the 1662 Book of Common Prayer bidding prayer form begins, Let us pray for Christ s holy Catholic Church, provides specifics, and then moves on to the next bidding . It is an informal Intercession intercessory prayer, covering a wide variety of concerns such as the church, the state, the living and the dead, and public and private necessities. In England in the 16th century it took the form of a direction to the people what to remember in Anglican prayer beads telling their beads . In the course of time the word bid in the sense of pray became obsolete and was confused with bid in the sense of command from O. Eng. beodan , to offer, present, and hence to announce, or command cf. Ger. bieten , to offer, gebieten , to command , and the bidding prayer came practically to mean the exhortation itself. A form of exhortation which preachers and ministers shall move the people to join with them in prayer is given in the 55th canon of the Church of England 1603 . In contemporary usage, the term bidding prayer has largely been replaced by intercessory prayers or prayers of the people. In keeping with Anglican custom, these are still said according to one or more Prayer Book templates, but are generally designed in such a way that specific topical, seasonal, or cyclical petitions can be added.

The tender is treated as an offer to do the work for a certain amount of money firm price , or a certain amount of profit cost reimbursement or cost plus . The tender which is submitted by the competing firms is generally based on a bill of quantities, a bill of approximate quantities or other specifications which enable the tenders attain higher levels of accuracy, the statement of work . For instance, a bill of quantities is a list of all the materials and other work such as amount of excavation of a project which have sufficient detail to obtain a realistic cost, or rate per described item of work material. The tenders should not only show the unit cost per material work, but should also if possible, break it down to labour, plant and material costs. In this way the individual who is selecting the tender will be quite confident that the tender is feasible. Bids are not only chosen on cost alone. Sometimes contractors submit lower tenders to win the contract and win the work. Either the costs that the contractor incurs is greater than the price he is charging the client as a consequence of a lower tender determining the contract sum , and thus is likely to go insolvent, or he will claim for loss and or expense due to discrepancies in the contract documents this can be done deliberately .

The auctioneer makes money in two ways the fees for each bid and the payment for the winning bid. How it works Participants pay a non refundable fee to purchase bids. Each bid increases the price of the item by a small amount, such as 0.01 USD 1 or 0.01 GBP 1p , and extends the time of the auction by a few seconds. Bid prices vary by site and quantity purchased at a time, but generally cost 10 150 times the price of the bidding increment.

Optimum contract and par contract are two closely related and sometimes confused terms in the card game contract bridge Optimum contract The optimum contract is that contract which offers the best chances, in unopposed bidding, of gaining bonus points for part score, game or slam whilst minimising the risk of failure. It is that contract which cannot be improved upon by further bidding nor could it have been improved upon by taking a different line in earlier bidding. At Duplicate bridge Scoring Chicago or IMP scoring it is generally worth bidding game even with a slightly less than 50 chance of success due to the relatively high value of the bonuses especially when vulnerable . In duplicate pairs scoring, the subtle difference between a major suit game, a NT game and a minor suit game make the choice of denomination an important decision. Each side has its own optimum contract and, for a side with poor hands, pass may be the optimum call. Par contract Where there is competitive bidding i.e. both sides are bidding the extra dimension of sacrificial bidding is added, and the theoretical optimum contract can be overtaken by the par contract . The par contract on a deal is that contract which results from optimal bidding by both sides and which neither side could improve by further bidding. It will either be equal to the optimum contract of one side or it will exceed the optimum contract of both sides. If the latter, it is only considered par if the doubled penalty is less than the value of the opposing optimum contract. Par score or par result The par result is that score which arises from the par contract and on which neither side could reasonably improve by changing their line of play. ref OEB 6 336 ref Game theory Game theoreticians would refer to such a par result as a Nash equilibrium .
