A fetched record is evidence of what the source published at a particular time. It is not a promise that the underlying procedure has not changed.
A notice is a publication
One procurement can produce several notices. Different publication IDs are preserved because they can represent a new stage, correction or outcome. Buyer totals on this site count collected publications, not unique contracts or the buyer’s complete procurement history. Open counts depend on known deadlines and available notice types.
Keep the dates separate
The publication date belongs to the source record. The checked date records when this service retrieved it. A future deadline is used to distinguish an open invitation from a closed one, while award, cancellation and planning notices retain their own type. A missing deadline is shown as unknown. Date-only metadata does not prove a precise submission hour.
Unknown is a useful answer
A blank value, currency, classification or time zone means the selected source did not supply a verified value in the ingested record. The service does not fill it from an article, a default currency or a model guess. Follow the official link for full documents and amendments. Contact the service through About if a published record needs correction.
