Bid already made for a living (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daily bread

'a living' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bid already made' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bid'+'already'='bidalready'
'bidalready' with letters rearranged gives 'DAILY BREAD'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for daily bread that I've seen before include "required for one's living" , "basic needs" , "Livelihood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
