Alternative Bid
Explanation:
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.

variant offer


Explanation:

http://www.ministryoffinance.is/legislation/nr/612
Variant offer: a bid that meets the requirements of the purchaser in a manner different from the one assumed in the technical tender specifications, as well as the minimum requirements.

http://councilminutes.bradford.gov.uk/Minutes/docs/2007EXECU...
5.6 The offer was provided as a standard tender with full acceptance of a performance-related payment mechanism and as a variant offer that would be 1% less cost but would not have the protection offered by the payment mechanism.
