How it's used
Used primarily in formal business or government procurement contexts to indicate success in a competitive bidding process. While it sounds like a standard verb, it specifically implies that a selection committee or auction process has officially confirmed the winner. It is rarely used outside of professional or commercial settings.
Examples
Their company finally won the tender this time.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean winning a general competition or a lottery, as it is strictly reserved for formal tenders or bids. For general winning, use 贏 instead.
