Offered soft beds with covers removed (8)
I believe the answer is:
tendered
'offered' is the definition.
('tender' can be a synonym of 'offer')
'soft beds with covers removed' is the wordplay.
'soft beds' becomes 'tend' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'covers' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (I've seen 'covers of' mean this).
'removed' becomes 'erased' (to erase is to remove or delete).
'erased' with its centre taken out is 'ered'.
'tend'+'ered'='TENDERED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tendered that I've seen before include "Offered as at auction" , "Made formal bid for contract" , "Put in a bid for a contract" , "Offered for payment" , "submitted" .)
