agree  Bea Geenen: Cost Estimation, Comparison and Assessment (I would leave out the "Analysis" because one does not estimate the analysis as such, but the cost itself.

disagree  Phil Hand: You just can't run "cost analysis estimation" together in English. It doesn't exist as a three-word phrase.

Analysing and estimating costs, and appraising them by comparison


Explanation:
This is much the same as the translation offered previously, but verbal forms are often more digestible than abstract nouns in a job description.

Costs' analysis estimation and their comparative autentification


Explanation:
分析 basically is a verb but it might a noun, too. 估算 is a verb, and 成本is the object of both. 與 means "and", 評比means to compare and assess, 鑑定 means "identify", "authentic".

Cost/price analysis and procurement decisions


Explanation:
Procurement does not necessarily involve cost analysis. Price analysis is 评比; cost analysis is 成本分析(估算). 鉴定 implies decision-making, and needs to be separated out.
