Usage Note
Adjudicatario is a legal and administrative term for the party awarded a contract, grant, or tender — commonly seen in public procurement (el adjudicatario del contrato). The feminine form is adjudicataria. It derives from adjudicar (to award, to adjudicate). In everyday speech it sounds bureaucratic; outside legal/procurement contexts, ganador or beneficiario would feel more natural.
Examples
"El adjudicatario firmó el contrato hoy."
Natural Translation
The awardee signed the contract today.
