Does the recipient of such a bid get too much? (8)

I believe the answer is:

takeover

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'does the recipient of such a bid' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'get too much?' is the wordplay.
'get' becomes 'take' (synonyms).
'too much?' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in other clues).
'take'+'over'='TAKEOVER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for takeover that I've seen before include "Business deal" , "business manoeuvre" , "Assume control" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
