disagree  mchd: aucun sens en français/oui surtout si l'on se demande si elle restera "liante" à la ficelle, à l'élastique ...

  -> Trop drôle ! Vraiment trop drôle de ridicule!

disagree  Tony M: I don't believe 'binding' is translated as 'liant' in this sense of an obligation or commitment in commerce / something with 'engager' / I honestly don't think that IS the meaning here.

  -> What would it be then ? But why not "liante" which is a legal contractual term and is clrealy the meaning here.

neutral  Tony M: In fact, that is NOT the case here: the bidder is committing ONLY himself to the validity of the bid for a certain period.
