Make offer to host Group E in Split (8)
I believe the answer is:
bisected
'split' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'make offer to host group e' is the wordplay.
'make offer' becomes 'bid'.
'to host' indicates putting letters inside.
'group' becomes 'sect' (I've seen this in other clues).
'sect'+'e'='secte'
'bid' enclosing 'secte' is 'BISECTED'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bisected that I've seen before include "split" , "Cut into two, halved" , "Divided into two equal parts" , "Cut into two equal parts" , "Cut in half" .)
