Norwegian term
tilbudsbrev
Norwegian to English
Bus/Financial
Law: Contract(s)
Context: terms and conditions of contract. Sentence: "Timepriser og leiesatser justeres normalt 1. januar hvert år, også for oppdrag hvor det i tilbudsbrev er oppgitt spesifiserte satser".
I think I might be assuming too much if I assume that this "tilbudsbrev" is a letter of tender - it could quite simply be a quotation for a regular contract (but with a comment to the client to clarify). Would appreciate a second opinion on my line of thinking here.

letter of offer
To play safe, as I am unsure what force a tilbud has in *Norwegian* law.
i tilbudsbrev er oppgitt spesifiserte satser = rates are 'quoted' therein whilst, in the *UK*, offers break down into binding quotations vs. non-binding estimates.
Blangsted's letter of intent sounds pre-contractual to me, 'comfort letters' drifting into the realms of letters of guarantee given by a bank and found nowadays, by the UK courts - contrary to the airy-fairy comfort label - to be binding contracts.

Example sentence:
requirements of the invitation to tender documents only if the tenderer also .... send that tenderer a letter of offer specifying the terms on which it will ...

Letter of Tender
I agree with your term. A letter of tender could be an unconditional offer, or a proposal. setting the conditions of a contract.
I believe this is accurate for both British and American English.

letter of intent, Letter of Tender/Bid Letter
I know, old post, but I can clarify.
Within the procurement process, the correct term is "Bid Letter" or "Letter of Tender"
(note that this are usually capitalised as they are separate files/documents in the bid package)
Within commercial agreements and contract law, letter of intent when a purchaser proposes a price/offer to the seller.
