- "stage", **not** "phase", for parts of a contracting process or framework agreement procedure
- Use the order "goods", "services" and "works" (alphabetical)

Instead of "tender", which can mean both the bid from the supplier and the opportunity from the buyer:

- "bid", when referring to a submission from a supplier
- "opportunity" (or "procurement opportunity"), when referring to a request, contest, etc. from a buyer
- "contracting process", when referring to the entire process
- "tender stage", when referring to the part of the contracting process
- "tender release", like in the context of release tags
- "tender notice", like in the context of document types
- "tender object", when referring to the field

Processes:

- "contracting (or planning) process", unless the sentence relates to only one or the other
