An approach to tendering which takes account not only of the selling price, but also other relevant factors.

Jurisdiction.
American movies seem to spend half the time with law enforcement people arguing about who has jurisdiction.
Jurisprudence means the theory or study of law; Jurassic is about an age.
de jure means practices which are legally recognised, as opposed to de facto which is about the reali-ty (Wikipedia).

Cost transparency - this requires a high trust level, as both parties open up and share information on the costs of their operations.
Open book costing is a one-way share - the seller allows the buyer to look at their actual costs.
