Overview / (step by step procedure)


Explanation:
Maybe I just don't understand transparency, but the phrase means ( in French) that the tenderer (bidder) will supply a "direction" to his proposed work plan. A pathway for the project / test / etc...to follow.

Possibly "a clear view" in this context


Explanation:
It depends whether one is speaking of something concrete - such as an overhead transparency - or whether this is an abstract noun, in which case, I would prefer a "view"
