Firma ABC war in dieser Sache mandatiert durch Firma XYZ.
Company ABC is involved in the construction of a new building. Can I translate mandatieren here as "commissioned" and how would you phrase "in dieser sache"?

to commission/(sub)contract
Although I would agree with "commissioned", "contracted" (or even "subcontracted", depending on the relationship between ABC and XYZ) might be another viable option.

As regards "in dieser Sache", you'd have to decide what to use depending on the further context, such as the nature/structure of the project ("for this [part of the] project" might be one of several possibilities).
