Dutch term

Als overweging wordt meegegeven te participeren

Dutch to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
I don't understand at all the clause "als overweging wordt meegegeven te participeren...". Could anyone please help me with this clause?

A bit of the text before and after, although it's not helping me!

- In het herijkte ICT-bestek is gekozen voor een ‘ander reisscenario’ om te komen tot een uniforme concernbrede informatiehuishouding (groeiscenario in plaats van een big-bang-scenario). Gevolg hiervan is dat het noodzakelijk kan zijn om in bestaande informatiesystemen te investeren.
- Als overweging wordt meegegeven te participeren in de ontwikkel- en/of testfase van CIP-ontwikkelingen. Dit biedt kansen en mogelijkheden om KLPD-specifieke wensen en eisen in te brengen. De hiervoor benodigde capaciteit dient in het jaarplan te worden opgenomen.
- De in de jaarplannen beschreven ICT-vernieuwingsprojecten worden beoordeeld met de prioriteringsmethodiek.

Thank you in advance for any help. Rather urgent!

Discussion

Idea: I think it might mean, literally: "As an idea, it is suggested that we/they participate in"... or "the idea is put forward that...", although with better wording in English if that is the meaning!

one possible option (worth considering) is to participate in

a suggestion. Overweging means consideration and meegeven conveys the idea of 'take away and think about'.

agree CI95 : With Tina's comment below in mind, perhaps drop 'possible', ie one option worth considering...

We recommend considering participating in

Perhaps not a very elegant solution, but this is what it means.
Peer comment(s):

agree AllisonK (X) : 'participation' instead of 'participating' might add a touch of elegance ;)
