Invites offers (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bids

I believe this is a double definition.

'invites' is the first definition.
('bid' can be a synonym of 'invite')

'offers' is the second definition.
(bid is a kind of offer)

(Other definitions for bids that I've seen before include "Auction actions" , "Proposals to buy at a certain price" , "Offers at auctions" , "Makes offer at auction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
