How it's used
Focuses on the formal process of competing for contracts or projects, often involving government or large corporate procurement. It implies a structured submission of documents rather than a casual negotiation or auction-style bidding. Use it when discussing business strategy or professional services.
Examples
Their company decided to bid on this project.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 拍賣, which refers to an auction where bidders compete by shouting or raising paddles to increase the price. 投標 is strictly for submitting a formal proposal or tender document.
