bid
I think I would go for bid, depending on the particular sector. You could try googling "contractor's bid" and see if the contexts which come up fit your particular client's situation.

And since this is a contract, this is possibly the most common. "in accordance with the q. submitted by the contractor".

: "Quotation" is certainly preferable to "quote", and is one of the translations of Angebot given by SAPterm, whereas "quote" is not.

thanks, but i'd say: "quote" is certainly preferable to "quotation".
