round of bidding


Explanation:
Leo seems to support this interpretation, defining "Runde" as "lap" or "round". The fact that there are multiple Ausschreibungsrunden also supports the "round" meaning over the "call for bids" interpretation that others have suggested.

So the entire sentence might be something like: "In the third round of bidding (now closed), over 150 new biotech firms applied, [and so] 40 new biotech research projects were funded."
