  -> I agree with you, but that's what the German says. It could well be that it is actually the competitive bids that are rendered anonymous (>>"bekommt Einsicht in die anonymisierten Mitbewerbsangebote"<<). Personally, I would mention it to the client.
agree  Francis Lee (X): after researching your phrase (hmmm - perhaps we should've done that first, Francis), it seems it is indeed commonly used

sanitised / purged of identifiers


Explanation:
i.e. the documentation they receive will have been sanitised so that confidential information cannot be linked to a specific identifiable individual/company. In theory. Sounds a bit dubious to me though...

Explanation:
A bit long, but i would probably just translate "which have been made anonymus" or even use the dreaded verb to keep things short and snappy

agree  Deborah Shannon: On reflection, I'd favour keeping the ambiguity of "given anonymized access" and mentioning it to the client, as Michael says.
