Portuguese term or phrase: proporcionais à sua natureza e dimensão
Here's the whole text:

"As qualificações económico-financeiras devem ser compatíveis com os encargos a serem suportados pelo concorrente e proporcionais à sua natureza e dimensão."

This is under "qualificaçao económico-financeira" in a Portuguese decree pertaining to procurement of public works. "Natureza" is where I'm thrown off - the literal "in proportion to its nature" sounds awful.

Explanation:
"... shall be compatible with the charges to be borne to the competitor and proportional to their nature and amount".

Dimension here is not applicable, IMO, as this surely refers to the amount or volume of money, or value. Tou'll see a lot of those "ornaments" in PT, as usual
