I'm looking for a translation of "Wettbewerbsteilnehmer" as in the following text:
http://www.famab.de/famab/press/pressreleases/detail.html?id...
Is it simply "competitor" or is there a more specific term?
The phrase I'm actually translating is
"Anzahl der Wettbewerbsteilnehmer"
as part of a checklist for a company preparing for a briefing with an exhibition contractor.
Thanks in advance.

Any formulation that uses the noun 'tender' as an adjective sounds awkward in English (tender participants, tender fee etc) and is best avoided, IMO.

On the basis of the process as described in the FMA and FDA guidelines, two other option worth considering are 'applicants' and 'candidates'.
And with reference to your previous question, any (job) applicant/candidate is entitled to claim expenses for attending an interview with a prospective employer.

Comment: "I guess there are a number of alternative translations here, but I chose "bidder" in the end. Thanks very much, Andrew."
