German to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Tendering / contracts

From a company report about future contracts in the marine construction sector.
A, B, C are the names of companies. I wondered whether Biege is a North German dialect word as the client is working on the coast.

Steffen Walter Nov 1, 2017: The BIEGE/BIE-GE ... ... may well become an ARGE if they are selected ;-)

Steffen Walter Oct 31, 2017: Good one, Johanna How about "joint bidders"? "Joint bidders for this project will probably be A, B and C."
TonyTK Oct 31, 2017: Nice one, Doc! ...
Johanna Timm, PhD Oct 31, 2017: Biege Bie-Ge= Bietergemeinschaft "Bietergemeinschaft – kurz: BIEGE – schienen auf einmal ein Ausnahmefall einer Bieterkonstellation zu sein, obwohl schon die Vergabe- und Vertragsordnungen diese als Möglichkeit per se vorsehen..." https://www.vergabe24.de/blog/blog/2015/06/12/die-zulaessigk...
