Belgian public procurement tender offer

This seems particularly wordy. Can someone do better than: 'In addition, in the tender offer concerned, those subordinates who are thereby bound to represent the [temporary] partnership before the tendering government.'

English translation:the person amongst them responsible for representing the association
Explanation:
You could also say the "individual" instead of "person".

Another tack would be to say "the appropriate person" instead of saying "amongst them". Sounds a bit verbose to me.

'Person' can of course refer to companies as well as individuals. In the end, I settled for 'the persons amongst them charged with representing the partnership'.

agree  Ron Willems: but "the appropriate person" without "amongst them" would be incorrect imo

which of them is responsible for representing the consortium


Explanation:
I think this is a more colloquial way of putting it.

Also, the asker hasn't given much context, but it sounds like several companies have formed a bidding consortium, so "the person" is unlikely to be correct.

Notes to answerer
Asker: You're right, there were joint bidders, but I didn't want to use 'consortium', which has a special meaning in English law. Thanks to both of you for clarifying the meaning of 'onder' here.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Dave Greatrix: A bit risky to assume, only the asker will know for sure. I can't see where several companies are mentioned - it could be a tender from a housing association for example.
