Topic | From tender and award notice to trusted information base: facts to record and facts not to infer

Public procurement records from China, Canada, the United States, and Europe can support indexing of source, date, status, buyer, and scope. This topic emphasizes that historical notices must not be repackaged as live demand or supplier endorsement.

Source-backed points

• China Government Procurement Network can publish award notices and project information.
• CanadaBuys, SAM.gov, and TED each present procurement and contract information differently.
• A notice may be a tender, market research, contract history, or result; these types cannot be conflated.

Editorial context

A trusted procurement information base retains original link and status first, summary second. Without project number, notice date, source type, and closed/open status, readers cannot determine whether an item is still actionable.

Use boundary and next step

• Keep notice type, status, date, region, and source link for every record.
• Do not infer contacts, future budget, tender timing, or quantities from a historical notice.
