Spanish term or phrase: La licitación se convoca con carácter nacional bajo la reserva permanente de los
This is boiler plate in Mexican public tenders. There is also "reserva permanente y transitoria de los tratados de libre comercio", but still can't figure out how to translate "bajo reserva"

Notes to answerer
Asker: Dear Neilmac, I'm not sure *in the custody* or under the responsibility* fits into this context. How can a domestic tender be under the custody or responsibility of the free trade agreements entered into by Mexico?
