When a project is put to tender, the organization releases a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Notice Inviting Tender (NIT). Interested parties pay the tender fee to receive the complete bidding documentation, which includes scope, drawings, terms, and conditions. This ensures that only serious bidders obtain the documents.
Tender fee is non-refundable.
EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) is refundable and acts as a security against bid withdrawal.
Security Deposit is paid by the successful contractor upon awarding of the contract.

Note: The original question incorrectly identified EMD as the payment for blank tender forms. EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) is provided by the bidder as a guarantee of their intent to participate in the project seriously, usually 1% to 3% of the estimated cost, and is returned to unsuccessful bidders.
Option B (Tender fee) is the correct standard terminology for the document purchase cost.
B is correct тАФ The payment for purchasing the blank tender form is known as the Tender Fee.
Always differentiate between Tender Fee (Administrative cost, non-refundable) and EMD (Security deposit, refundable to unsuccessful bidders).
