Dutch term or phrase: een verklaring op eer
Appears in a tender:

'Tenderers are required to submit a "verklaring op eer"'.

How would you render 'verklaring op eer' in English? It does not seem to be (as strong as) a sworn statement ('verklaring onder eed') or an affidavit. I would be grateful for a small explanation as well. :-)

Many thanks in advance,

Ron

a declaration/letter of intent
Explanation:
Here 'eer' refers to good will. Given the context, a declaration/letter of intent (both terms are commonly used in tendering) is more appropriate here.

Explanation:
I don't think one can use the term "honour" here .. so this more or less conveys the same meaning
