a igualdad de ofertas
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
Es un contrato entre un autor y una productora, que dice:
Vencido el término de la exclusividad de tres años, y en caso de que no se haya realizado la película, "EL AUTOR" acordará prioridad a "LA PRODUCTORA" para la nueva contratación del libro cinematográfico objeto del presente contrato, a igualdad de ofertas.
Does this mean that LA PRODUCTORA has to match any other offer made for the screenplay? How would you say that in elegant contract English?

Spanish term (edited):
a igualdad de ofertas - en caso de igualdad de ofertas
in case of tie bids - in case of tie in bidding amount
Queda mucho más claro en español si se dice: en caso de igualdad de ofertas. Es decir el monto/la cantidad/el importe/la cuantía objeto de la licitación.
-------------
In case of tie bids, one or more preferences described in TAC Rule 113.8 and listed below will be used to make an award.
https://www.utpb.edu/university-offices/purchasing/docs/ifb-...
In case of tie in bidding amount – Preference will be given on the basis of seniority of the firm and in case of further tie, number of partners will be the base for decision. If still there is a tie then management decision will be final & binding.

: I don't feel either of these reads well in English, and it's not just about the amount. Also, there may not even be any other bids.

ex-aequo proposals
See EU-speak example here, which :

3.9 - Tie-breaker rules - For proposals with the same bid price, a priority order will be determined according to the following approach. Successively for every group of ex-aequo proposals, starting with the lowest bid price group and continuing in descending order: ...
Bear in mind that the ST context an 'igualdad de ofertas' may be based on other factors besides the 'bid price' - it could be delivery times, royalty shareout or other relevant criteria.

should offers rank on par
"EL AUTOR" acordará prioridad a "LA PRODUCTORA" : "THE AUTHOR" is grant the "PRODUCER(S)" (fem. = company, so plural) priority if the contract offers are on par with each other (equal).
I'm not sure it's a classic bidding or tendering scenario.

: I agree that it's not a classic tendering scenario, but that's precisely where I'd expect a term like 'rank on par' to be used.

[see my suggestion]
I think you have to rewrite this to make it clear, and I don't believe the three previous answers have done this.
I suggest:
If the three-year exclusivity period ends and the film has not been made, the author will give the producer priority over any other bidder offering the same prices and conditions.
