"tender inquiry" is what I am leaning toward, but perhaps there is a more common or established term.

Invitation to tender/Request for proposal
I *believe* the UK term is "invitation to tender."
I *know* the US term is "request for proposal."
In both cases, it's an outline of a proposed project of some kind and an invitation to submit proposals, along with information about what the proposal should contain.

: So says a glossary from Stockholm Läns Landsting. Often just ITT.

Which in the US is a (former) company, but I have seen that abbreviation in English-language texts in Sweden as well, now that you mention it. :-) Thanks, Peter.

: Request for quote (RFQ) another option; depending on complexity/services requested. RFQ used for widgets (commodities), RFP where the authority is looking for a solution

asptech
: "Invitation ..." is literally correct, on less solemn occasions perhaps just "inquiry" will do.

Thanks! I don't know what you'd put after "inquiry," though. :-)
