to me the bid is the price that you are will to pay based on the proposal document provided. A bid is usually a competitive process with many parties hoping to win the project.
an offer is also the price that a company is willing to pay to perfrom the work this may or may not be competitive.
a tender is bascially the same as a bid.
there is usually a specific deadline associated with all of these

There isn't really much difference, as they are all suggesting that the proejct is still in a early stage of its lifecycle, when the scope, cost and time are still being developed.
The first two terms "Bid" and "tender" might suggest a competitive stage where other parties are also preparing their bids/tenders, while "Offer" and "Proposal" *might* suggest some form of negotiated agreement rather than competitive.
But in practice, all the above terms are probably mixed up but serve the same purpose.
