invitation to tender for TV broadcasting
This word appears a number of times in an invitation to tender for TV broadcasting. Example:
Radio- og tv-naevnet udsteder tilladelse til distribution af lyd- og billedprogrammer mv. til gatekeeperen, der findes ved en såkaldt skønhedskonkurrence.
Rather than a beauty contest, is there a particular technical word for this, because I don't really understand what is meant by 'skønhedskonkurrence'.
Advice appreciated.

e.g. If there – as a result of this notification – are other interested parties wishing to tender for the licence on the same terms as the original invitation to tender with later adjustments, the Norwegian DTT licence will be awarded anew by means of a "beauty contest".
