monitoring system

In Colombia's context, "acompañamiento" relates to the effort of Transparencia por Colombia to implement the "Pacto de Integridad" against corruption. Transparencia por Colombia is a member of Transparency International, which uses the terms "monitoring system" and "transparency watch".

disagree  Adriana de Groote: Perdona Tere, pero en el primer enlace que pusiste no hay traducción de la palabra 'acompañamiento' que sólo sale en una sección únicamente en español. En el segundo, sale tres veces y en las tres la traducen como "accompaniment"

Explanation:
Lesley, your text is on the second link, I believe it's exactly the same thing. On the second reference, I found the paragraph that I copied below. It's helpful because it describes some of the things that an "acompañamiento" include, like "el diseño de los términos de referencia hasta la adjudicación". I cannot find the term in any of my legal dictionaries, but from the context, it seems to me that they are referring to the steps involved in the preparation or coordination of the bids.

2. PROCESOS DE LICITACION

De acuerdo con lo previsto en la propuesta de desarrollo de la Isla de Integridad para abordar el trabajo en torno a los procesos de licitación de la Fábrica, se realizó un ejercicio práctico con la Licitación Pública para la adquisición de Alcohol Extraneutro – FLA 001-02, en el que se aplicó la herramienta de Transparencia Internacional conocida como Pacto de Integridad, con el objetivo, de una parte, de transferir la metodología a los funcionarios que tienen a cargo de estos procesos, y de otra parte, recoger los aprendizajes que el acompañamiento a este proceso en particular arrojara, para mejorar los mecanismos de transparencia en el conjunto del proceso de licitaciones de la FLA.

En efecto, Transparencia por Colombia realizó por varios meses el acompañamiento de la licitación antes mencionada, desde el diseño de los Términos de Referencia hasta la respectiva adjudicación. Los resultados específicos del acompañamiento se presentan en el Anexo No.5.

Addenda / Enclosed documents


Explanation:
Hi

I guess it is to do with the documents that come with the application or dossier, as you hinted in your comments....

Not sure about the other proposals, if they convey this particular idea, or it's a totally different one

oversight over the bidding process


Explanation:
Acompañamiento has the sense of of a less vertical, more horizontal type of influence or leadership. Starting in the 1980s it was often used in Latin America to refer to the role of church people vis-a-vis those suffering persecution, i.e., to stand by them, aid them, but not in a paternalistic way.
It is used widely for monitoring or oversight type functions.
It's similar to how "coordinación" has come to be used for leadership. It's appropriate in team situations, but the term is often used for other kinds of leadership.
In both cases you have what started as a reaction to traditional emphasis on hierarchy, but where the word itself gains currency.
In this instance, it sounds like it is one of the functions of a consulting group. Licitación is not simply the opening to bidding, but the whole process.
Hence, my suggestions: "monitoring of the bidding process," "oversight over the bidding process" etc.
