Alternative Bid
This is if they are talking about a company offering a "base bid" and then an "alternative bid" that may meet different specifications. The "Amended Offer" or bid would be if a bid was originally sumbitted, then the bidder was asked to modify it. The Alternative Bid is offered at the same time as the base bid.
