A memo about the tender (8)
I believe the answer is:
reminder
'a memo' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'about the tender' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'the tender' becomes 'minder' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're'+'minder'='REMINDER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reminder that I've seen before include "Memory refresher" , "Memory jogger" , "Memory-jogger" , "Prompt, memory jog" , "Aide-mmoire" .)
