Contractors often submit bids to secure their projects or goods & services while participating in bidding. 
  2. Performance Bond - A type of surety bond issued by the bank that guarantees that the completion of a project will take place as stipulated in a contract. The primary purpose is to ensure that all the contractual commitments are fulfilled and delivered on an agreed timeline to the satisfaction of the project owner.
  3. Advance Payment Guarantee - Issued by the bank on behalf of the contractor. This type of guarantee is a promise that ensures that the payment made in advance by the beneficiary will be refunded in case the contractor defaults on his behalf in terms of contractual obligations.
