two different entities can bid for the same tender as a firm is a seperate legal entity despite the fact that it is controlled by same person. It also depends upon the bye-laws laid down for the bidder to follow.

The terms and conditions of the tender need to be produced in order to advise you in this matter.

Terms and conditions of the tender are variable and vary from tender to tender. If the tender allows one person to place multiple bids under different names, then you can do it.

Generally, it is not allowed.

Same proprietor cannot send tenders on two different firm names for the same contract.

It can be considered as an illegal act and also an offence.
