Primarily used in a construction setting at the tender stage, a bid bond provides assurance by the surety to the project owner that the bidder will enter into the contract at the price tendered, should they be successful in their bid. Contractors generally prefer bid bonds to other deposit methods because they do not involve cash or bank credit.

An agreement to bond, also commonly referred to as a consent of surety, provides assurance to the project owner that if the contractor is awarded the job and signs the contract, the surety will provide the performance bond and payment bond required in order to commence with the project.
