The context is a tender:
[if the documentation is not submitted, the contracting authority] incautará la garantía por entender que se trata de una oferta temeraria.
I have already seen this question: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/law_contracts/...
However, I am not convinced 'abnormally low bid' works in this case, as failing to submit the documentation doesn't suggest that the bid is low.
Would frivolous bid work?

frivolous
Although "frivolous" seems a bit of a stretch as a translation for "temeraria", I think this is what it must mean.
Bid bonds help to eliminate frivolous bids by others, since the contractor who makes a frivolous bid would be required to take on the job or pay the bond premiums. Since project owners cannot tell how financially stable a contractor is, a bid bond will help to make sure that the job gets done, or the money is secured to ensure that the job will get done.

reckless
I like this one. if not senseless even if it doesn't really mean "temeraria"

non-responsive
A bid may be rejected as being "non-responsive" for a variety of reasons, one of them being the failure to submit required documentation. "Non-responsive"doesn't carry the connotation of "reckless", which is the basic meaning of "temerario", but I couldn't find much evidence that "reckless bid" is common usage in English in this context.
See for example the section titled "What is a Responsive Bid?" on this site: http://mrsc.org/getdoc/dd1e41fa-b042-4366-b3f6-4d16818433ad/...
