Daryo May 4, 2016:
on its own "tender documents test location"

would mean that there is some "test location" for doing something unspecified with "tender documents";

as much as it may be grammatically correct, it's real-life nonsense;

there must be some implied elements included, and with more context it should be possible to make sense of all this by finding them;

as it is, we can't even be sure if "tender" is a noun or a verb!

if this is a "to do" list, "tender" could very well be a verb - and if this is written in some silly telegraphic style it COULD mean:

"send tender documents for the test site"

But it could also mean god knows what else!

Je me demande s'il ne s'agit pas de "site pilote"?
Françoise Vogel May 4, 2016:
contexte d'autres éléments de cette même liste pourraient peut-être mieux permettre d'en comprendre la construction.

Emplacement des documents d'essai du soumissionnaire

read complete sentence, they are talking about where the contractor will store test docs
Peer comment(s):

disagree Daryo : that would be the translation for "location of bidder's test documents" // reshuffling the components of the ST in any which random order is fine? As long you mention both the table and the chair, "next to" "under" "left of" "right of" is all the same?
