general terms and conditions for contracting
Explanation:
I have translated many tenders, and I usually translate "pliego de conditions" as "terms and conditions".

In this case, "contratación" does not mean hiring. In a tender situation, the tendering party is contracting out goods and services, not hiring someone.
