Marketing - Business/Commerce (general) / Press release
Portuguese term or phrase: agêcias licitadas
This appears in the following sentenc:

"Contrataçao de parceiro internacional, por meio das agências licitadas, para planejamento, criaçao, execuçao e avaliaçao de projetos..."

Would this be 'bidding agencies'. I'm sure there is a better way of putting it...

Many thanks in advance for any input.

Best,

It sounds perfectly clear to me.

The bidding agencies would hire the international partner, through the bidding agencies/companies.

'Qualified agencies' seems to be the most popular choice from the community. However, I used Marlene's suggestion in my translation and I believe this adequately conveys the message from the source. As this was the translation used, I feel Marlene deserves the points.

qualified agencies


Explanation:
It is a strange expression but, in the context, I think it refers to agencies that have become qualified in an invitation to bid that will seek out an international partner.

This expression occurs in a Brazilian Ministry of Tourism document in relation to Bolivia, and in that document, "qualified agencies" would fit well.

In the document I refer to, it would appear to refer to publicity agencies.
