Raw data to clean record
What this notice arrived with
A value in local format
Dot thousands, comma decimals, a currency word instead of a code. Converted so it compares with every other tender.
One publisher code
The buyer tagged 33183200. We keep it and add five scored codes read from the text.
Three related notices
Matching notices are linked to this record so you see one tender, not three alerts.
Gather data from TED
The notice arrives as one string with no types.
Pull out the fields
Each value is lifted out and handed to its own clean-up step.
Standardise the format
Every source maps into the same JSON structure, so every later step reads the same fields.
"tender_title": "ENDOPROTEZE",
"language": null,
"tender_amount": "10.274.880,00 lei",
"release_date": "10.08.2026",
"cpv_codes": ["33183200"]
}
Detect the language
Read from the text: “conform caiet de sarcini”.
Fix the country
Locality kept: Galati.
Tidy the date
Every date stored the same way, so sorting and filtering work.

Contracts and competitors
Where buyers publish contract awards, each record carries the buyer, the winning supplier, the award value, the contract start and end dates, and a link to the source notice.
The Supplier filter shows the contracts a competitor has won. Contract awards are searched with keyword search.
The Contract end date filter shows contracts coming to an end.
Can you trust your growth
to any old search?
Our rivals give you a window on their data, we give you a microscope.
When Open Opportunities isn't right for you
Open Opportunities isn't right for everyone. You should pay for Open Opportunities if you don't need it, so this is how to tell if you need Open Opportunities and what you can do instead.
