Friends making bids due to move (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buddies

'friends' is the definition.
(I know this)

'bids due to move' is the wordplay.
'to move' is an anagram indicator.
'bids'+'due'='bidsdue'
'bidsdue' with letters rearranged gives 'BUDDIES'.

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for buddies that I've seen before include "American pals" , "Mates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
