This case must be about a public bid. The context is clear enough to me.
Good luck,

This is a bid and has nothing to do with a trial where a plaintiff and defendant would be involved. Hope this helps.

Since this is not a bid, I suggest eliminating the term \"bidder\" as a possibility. Black\'s Law Dictionary defines a rogatory letter as follows:
A document issued by one court to a foreign court, requesting that the foreign court (1) take evidence from a specific person within the foreign jurisdiction or serve process on an individual or corporation within the foreign jurisdiction, and (2) return the testimony or proof of service for use in a pending case.
Javier Becerra\'s \"Diccionario de Terminología Jurídica Mexicana\" defines rogatory letters as follows:
In rules of civil and criminal procedure, this is a communication from a court of law officially asking another court in different jurisdiction for assistance in a particular court action
Thomas L. West\'s \"Spanish-English Dictionary of Law and Business\" has the following term in his dictionary with the pertinent translation and definition as follows:
Ofrecimiento de pruebas - Offering of evidence (Evidence is first offered [\"ofrecido\" in Mexico] and then admitted or rejected [Admitido o rechazado] by the judge, and then produced [\"desahogado\" in Mexico])
Apparently, this situation involves the offering of some kind of evidence or proof from a different jurisdiction, possibly foreign, to be used in the court of law where the case is being heard. In your request, there is no indication if the evidence being produced is on behalf of a plaintiff or defendant, so I would still suggest \"offeror\" in this case. Hope this helps.
