German term

Vergabesenat

Non-PRO German to English Law/Patents Law (general)
A ruling (03.08.1999 - 6 Verg 1/99) of the Brandenburg OLG - can be read online. Relates to an appeal relating to the awarding of a very large contract.
"Vergabesenat des Brandenburgischen Oberlandesgerichts"
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Steffen Walter

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Please don't rush me Hi Fred
I really appreciate all your collective help (amazing!) but as I am still working on this translation and trying to award points will be very taxing, I ask for your patience for a couple of days - please.

Division of Contract Award Appeals

First of all a "Senat" is )among other things) a division of a higher court. The court here is the Brandenburg OLG.
The division does not award contracts; it decides appeal related to the awarding of contracts. Thus, my wording above. I would use the German followed by the English in brackets [ ]

award chamber

This is a typically German term, part of the judicial system and handling procurement disputes.

I only found a pdf document with a translation of the "Vergabesenat of Brandenburg. Here is the link:

www.malekigroup.com/psites/infra/reports/ws06 schoedermeier...

download the document, go to page 3 (a slide) You will read:

"other bidder gave notice of violation of procurement rules, filed complaint with award chamber".

This document may help you also for other terms.

Board judging the calls for tenders (in appeal)

First, these calls for tenders have to be examined by the "Vergabekammer". If you want to appeal, you should go to the "Vergabesenat". More explanations on the link below.

contract-awarding authority

....or contract-awarding senate if you prefer, but this is not a common term in English, so "contract-awarding authority" is the neatest way to cover the idea behind Vergabesenat.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Maya Jurt : According to the context, this is a chamber that judges appeals against the decision of the contract awarding authority
