Data fixes: buyers' CPV codes, missing notices and closing dates

We have fixed three problems in the data. Here is what was wrong and what changed.
Buyers' CPV codes
From March 2026, the CPV codes that buyers publish in their notices were not stored for 45 European sources, among them national portals in France and the UK and a German state portal. The notices still had the categories Open Opportunities assigns, so searches by category found them, but a filter on the buyer's own codes did not. The buyer's codes are stored again for that UK portal: every notice from it in a sample published since 1 November has them.
Notices missed since April
The nightly import from a major European source ran out of memory partway through each run from 30 April, so some notices it published after 29 April were never imported. We have imported the missing months and changed the nightly run so it finishes.
Notices from the same source now also include the estimated value where the notice gives one, and a working link to the original notice.
Tenders with no end date
Some sources publish tenders without a closing date. These used to stay open in search results indefinitely. We now close them, so open-tender searches show tenders you can still bid for.
