exigence


Explanation:
"Ainsi, en réponse à l'exigence relative à l'énoncé des buts et objectifs..."
is the translation of "For instance, in response to the requirement to state goals and objectives..."

http://www.linguee.fr/francais-anglais/traduction/réponse a ...

So the whole sentence would be "Offre en réponse à cette exigence".

Correcting...
So the whole sentence would be "Offres en réponse à cette exigence"

I also found this expression (just to help you with the whole sentence)
"Appels d'offres" which seems interesting... Please see this link

disagree  Daryo: 'bids in response to this requirement" => you don't make a whole bid in response to "une exigence" - context?

neutral  Germaine: Littéralement, c'est exact. Contextuellement, ça peut être différent. Voir la discussion, ou "specifications" correspondrait à "exigences", mais "requirement" à "appel d'offres".

condition requise


Explanation:
Compte tenu du fait qu'il s'agit d'un d'un contrat, il est certainement question de "disposition ou clause" contractuelle.

Example sentence(s):
  • The contract included a requirement submitting all disputes to arbitration.
  • Le contrat comportait une condition requise qui soumettait tous les litiges à l'arbitrage.

  -> Merci
disagree  Daryo: same problem - a bid is the reply to "a request for quote" / "appel d'offres" NOT to "un besoin" // it's the "request for quote / appel d'offres" that will specify in more or less details what is required, but a bid is not a reply to "des besoins"
