[...] "Authority" in this context means
either an express authority
in the
governing documents of the charity, a court order or
permission from

and you interpret your own quoted text in a very personal way if you
forget that it says the purpose is a "fair and open competition" and you
focus solely on the conjunction "in advance of" instead of commenting
whether the actual purpose was pursued correctly.
