Gave in and proposed (9)
I believe the answer is:
submitted
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'gave in' is the first definition.
(submitting is a kind of giving in)
'proposed' is the second definition.
(as in submitting a bid)
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for submitted that I've seen before include "Proposed - yielded" , "Stopped resisting, gave in" , "Yielded (to a superior force)" .)
