"party calling for tenders"
I wouldn't say that it is clumsy - it may look like leagaleze, but then it is a contract.
The other terms mentioned may be correct for individual cases, but not for all cases, as they are specific, while this phrase that you mentioned, is more general, allowing for it to be used in all cases...

Person/Company inviting tenders
I don't think a direct translation is possible, I believe you will have to consider "enhed" = "company" in this context

I will \"steal\" a word from Christian and call it \"entity\" rather than \"company\"

customer/client
In tenders the "contractor" is the party awarded the contract whereas "udbyder" literally speaking is the "supplier" of a service/product but often the term is used incorrectly in Danish meaning and is taken to mean "the party inviting tenders", the party buying a product/service. Often this party will refer to himself/itself in the 3rd person singular "the customer/client", unless you can actually use the specific name of this party. And the party awarded the contract is the "contractor" or "supplier". Otherwise your own suggestion (party inviting tenders/the inviting party depending on the context) it is probably not quite off the mark.

supplier/supplying entity
Regnskabsordbogen (2004) has it as "supplier" - as someone selling a product or a service to a third party... I think that "offeror/offering entity" might also be an option.
