why sealed and prescribed?

Sealed Tender on prescribed form are invited from G.S.T. Registered Chemists and Druggist for
supply of Medical Stores to P.N.S.C Stores and Supply Department West Wharf Road, Karachi.

Why sealed and prescribed are used. Why not seal and prescribe in above sentence?

Do you understand the phrases "broken window" and "cooked rice", for instance? In the same way that "cooked rice" means "rice that is / has been cooked", "sealed tender" means "tender that is / has been sealed", and "prescribed form" means "form that is / has been prescribed". However the sentence is not actually correct English.

GPYIt should say "Sealed tenders on the prescribed form are invited ...".
Or, actually, I think "Sealed tenders in the prescribed form" may be what is meant.

zeetec4Lovely dear.
"dear" is used for loved ones, or people we want to be affectionate towards. It is not appropriate here.

An exception is the salutation "Dear ~" at the start of a letter, which we use by convention even when we do not have an affectionate relationship with that person.

Thank you for updating me with English knowledge. As my mother tongue is Urdu, so I am working hard to understand the English language.
