English translation:This mission...
Explanation:
This mission fits within the framework of a sub-contracting agreement between the two companies bearing on the supply of software ported to HP machines.

"agreement" to avoid "sub-contract contract"

and I'm assuming that "d'un logiciel porte sur" should read "...porté...".

If it appears that the software in question is not software adapted from non-PC machines (Sun, Mac, etc.), then "installed on" instead of "ported to".

What particular part of the phrase is troubling you?


Explanation:
I ask this because it is not a difficult phrase in itself and I notice that your language pair is French > English.

If you can clarify your difficulty, I'm sure that someone on this site would be pleased to help.

Explanation:
Please note: The French love the phrase

s'inscrire dans
AND
dans le cadre de x or y

s'inscrire dans le cadre de can merely be translated simply as=

the framework business in English is too heavy in this context and unecessary

\"qui porte sur la fourniture d\'un logiciel porte sur machine HP\" there is something wrong with the French here

Explanation:
I would avoid the word "mission" in English, we simply don't use it, especially in a legal context, like the French do.

The rest of the sentence would be "for the supply of software for HP computers". Bit hard to be sure of all that given the lack of context.
